Birthmark Treatments FAQ in El Cajon, CA

How painful is birthmark removal?

Recovery from birthmark removal treatments is an easy process, with minimal downtime and very little to no pain. Patients can expect to return to work and other normal activities the next day after having the procedure.

When should I be worried about my birthmark?

Because port wine stains and certain hemangiomas can be disfiguring and embarrassing for children, Rozell-Shannon advises parents to consult with a vascular birthmarks specialist if their child’s birthmark has gotten larger or darker, or isn’t diminishing on its own.

Can birthmarks be treated?

Most other vascular birthmarks can be treated. Port-wine stains and some hemangiomas can be disfiguring and upsetting for children. Small hemangiomas in less visible locations usually don’t need treatment, as most shrink back into themselves by the time a child is 10.

Is vitamin E or C better for scars?

Anecdotal reports claim that vitamin E speeds wound healing and improves the cosmetic outcome of burns and other wounds. Many lay people use vitamin E on a regular basis to improve the outcome of scars and several physicians recommend topical vitamin E after skin surgery or resurfacing.

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).

What happens if you cut off a birthmark?

Shaving or cutting your mole can disfigure your skin and leave a scar if done improperly. Removing a mole without sterile equipment in a nonsurgical condition may lead to infection. If your mole is cancerous, the cells can remain in the skin and spread.

Which cream can I use to remove dark spots?

Blue Nectar Natural Vitamin C Face Cream. Glowpink Dark Spot Corrector Cream. Re’ Equil Skin Radiance Cream. Eeza Anti Blemish Face Cream. Dermafique Age Defying Nuit Regenerating Cream. DERMATOUCH Skin Radiance Cream. AURAVEDIC Dark Spot Removal Cream. Mamaearth Skin Correct Face Serum.

Are people with birthmarks rare?

Birthmarks are common. Research shows that about 10% of babies are born with a type of birthmark known as a hemangioma (he-man-gio-ma). Fortunately, most hemangiomas go away on their own by the time a child is 10 years old. Many disappear sooner.

Does everyone get a birthmark?

While birthmarks are common, not everyone has one. There’s no way to predict if a child will have a birthmark or not. Not having a birthmark isn’t a sign of a particular health condition or a cause for concern. Also, remember that many types of birthmarks fade as children get older.

What does a normal birthmark look like?

Congenital Melanocytic Nevi (Moles) These birthmarks are common, found in 1-3% of newborns. Congenital nevi can look very different from each other. Most are brown, but they may also have shades of pink, red, or black. Sometimes they have bumps or hair, and they may become rough or raised.

How long does it take to remove a birthmark with laser?

Birthmark removal treatment can take as little as 10 minutes, and the procedure can be carried out safely by a qualified doctor using a special type of laser.
