A member asked:
Can a birthmark come back after you had it removed?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Birthmarks: Birthmarks never really disappear- they can fade and then "come back" especially if exposed to sun.

Not usually: Most birthmarks can either be pigmented nevi or vascular flame nevi. They usually lighten up with age and will usually not return once they have disappeared. No treatment is required.
