    Solution to get rid of birthmark
    I have a bithmark since I was born and now I want to get rid of that... it has faded and has become light... first it was very dark brown and now it has become green... and I have consulted many doctors... they have told me to undergo operations... after I complete fifteen and now I am 17... so many doctors have told me the option of laser but I don't trust laser at all... can you give me a better option of removing birthmark... shall I go for cosmetic surgery or plastic surgery? Do reply fast I really need the info urgently as I only have 3 monthsof my vacations... thank you

    There is an alternative you could do without surgery of any sort.. you can go to stores that carry blemish concealment creams.. there are some that can hide even the darkest of birthmarks.

    I do hope however that you have asked and got an answer as to why it has turned green, that is something I have never heard of happening.

    Please do not attempt to remove the birthmark yourself. The doctors are correct, laser surgery can be incredibly effective at removing birthmarks, such as port-wine stains, moles or scars. Laser surgery involves aiming a laser with a specific wavelength of light that is compatible with the pigmented area, and destroying the affected tissue. Multiple sessions may be required. I recommend that you talk to your dermatologist about a procedure that's right for you.

    If cosmetic surgery is not an option, you can use camouflage make up or a concealer to cover your birthmark.
