Birthmark Treatments FAQ in Anderson, SC

Can you lighten a birthmark?

Laser treatment uses highly focused beams of light to reduce the size and lessen the color of birthmarks. This includes red birthmarks, such as strawberry hemangiomas and port wine stains; brown birthmarks, such as café au lait spots; and blue birthmarks, such as facial dermal melanocytosis.

Are birthmarks genetic?

Some birthmarks are hereditary and run in families, but most aren’t. Very occasionally, some are caused by gene mutations. For example, some babies born with a type of birthmark called port-wine stains (because they look similar to a splash of wine) may have a rare condition called Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome.

Do birthmarks come back after removal?

Keep in mind that laser treatments may not get rid of the birthmark entirely (though some birthmarks disappear completely after treatment). Plus, over time the birthmark may come back and need to be retreated.

Can I tattoo over birthmark?

In short, the answer to your question is yes — you can get a tattoo over a birthmark. There are tattoo artists all over the country who will willingly allow you to put a tattoo over any part of your body, no matter the issues it may cause down the road.

How do you cover up brown birthmarks?

Camouflage make-up can be used to conceal many birthmarks, whether on a daily basis or for that special occasion. There are a variety of products available with many high street make-up brands produce complete cover foundations; however there are also companies specialising in skin camouflage.

At what age do birthmarks stop growing?

They usually appear at around one to four weeks of age, then get bigger – sometimes quite quickly – for a few months. They stop growing between six and 12 months of age, then gradually disappear over the next few years. The skin of the birthmark is as strong as any other skin.

What is a brown birthmark called?

Congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN) are “moles” that are present at birth. They range in color from light brown to black and come in all shapes and sizes. Over time, CMN may darken, thicken or grow hair. One percent of babies are born with a CMN, but so-called “giant” CMN are much less common (1 in 50,000).

Can you shave birthmarks?

A shave excision treatment is used to permanently remove moles and birthmarks from the skin. Shave biopsies and punch biopsies are also used by dermatologists to evaluate skin lesions for skin cancer.

Which cream is best for Mark Removal?

Mederma Advanced Scar Gel. SkinCeuticals Phyto + Cica-Care Gel Sheet. Cimeosil Scar and Laser Gel. ScarAway Silicone Scar Gel. Tosowoong Green Tea Natural Pure Essence. Honeydew Blemish Cream. Mederma for Kids.

What kind of birthmark is rare?

Nevus Sebaceous “This type of birthmark is very rare but it is important because it has a high risk of developing into basal cell skin cancer. It is one of the few birthmarks that may be surgically removed at an early age to prevent it from becoming cancerous,” says Miller.
