Q: Can a brown birthmark be removed?
A: Treatment for brown birthmarks is determined by the size, type, and location of the birthmark on the body. Some birthmarks are surgically excised, which removes the birthmark completely but leaves a scar.
Q: Can Lemon remove birthmarks?
A: Lemon can lighten your birthmark in some cases but can not remove it. Apply a few drops of lemon juice to your birthmark, leave it for at least 20 minutes, then wash it off with warm water and pat your skin dry. Repeat this procedure at least three times per day until your birthmark is gone.
Q: Do birthmarks darken with age?
A: They usually appear between one and four weeks of age, then grow – sometimes quickly – for a few months. They stop growing between the ages of six and twelve months and then gradually fade away over the next few years.
Q: What do brown birthmarks mean?
A: Birthmarks can be passed down through families. Some marks may resemble those on other family members, but the majority do not. An overgrowth of blood vessels causes red birthmarks. Pigment cells (melanocytes) cause blue or brown birthmarks.
Q: What causes birthmarks?
A: Birthmarks are typically caused by an overgrowth of a structure that is naturally present in your skin. Vascular birthmarks occur when your blood vessels do not form properly. Pigmented birthmarks are caused by an overgrowth of the cells in your skin that produce pigment (color).
Q: Is laser birthmark removal painful?
A: Laser birthmark removal is a completely painless procedure that requires no anesthetic. There will be no pain or discomfort, just a slight tingling sensation. Laser treatment can significantly reduce the dark tones of your birthmarks, coffee-cream birthmarks, and even completely even out the tone of your original birthmark.
Q: How do you cover a brown birthmark?
A: You can use makeup products to cover your brown birthmark. Select a color-correcting concealer or primer that will mask the appearance of your birthmark. On reddish marks, use a green concealer, on purple or blue marks, a yellow concealer, and on brown or tan marks, a purple or lavender concealer.

Q: Are birthmarks Genetic?
A: Some birthmarks are inherited and run in families, but the majority are not. Some are caused by gene mutations on rare occasions. Some babies born with port-wine stains, for example, have a rare condition known as Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome.
Q: What is the rarest birthmark color?
A: Port-wine stain birthmarks are the most uncommon (less than 1% of people are born with them) and are caused by capillaries in the skin that are wider than they should be.
Q: Do birthmarks grow hair?
A: Birthmarks that babies are born with, or develop soon after birth may have hair growing out of them. Any hair that grows out of a mole can be darker and coarser—and even grow faster than the rest of your body hair.
Q: Do birthmarks grow?
A: The color, size, appearance, and shape of birthmarks vary. Some are permanent and will grow in size over time. Others completely vanish.

A: Most birthmarks are harmless and do not pose a cancer risk. A very rare type, known as a giant congenital melanocytic nevus, can develop into melanoma (become cancerous) if it is larger than 20cm in diameter.
Q: When should I worry about a birthmark?
A: You should decide about removing your birthmark when your normal activity is hampered by the birthmark; the birthmark bleeds or exhibits other distressing symptoms, or the birthmark causes you to be self-conscious about your appearance.
Q: What happens if you take off a birthmark?
A: You should not remove your birthmark by yourself. Cutting off any growth raises your risk of infection, particularly if the tool you use is not properly sanitized. You can also leave a permanent scar where the mole was previously. Another risk of removing a mole yourself is not knowing if the mole is cancerous.
Q: How long does it take to remove a birthmark?
A: To achieve the best results, a series of outpatient treatments may be required. Laser birthmark removal is virtually painless and does not usually necessitate an anesthetic. Depending on the size and pigmentation of the birthmark, treatment can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours.
Q: Can you bleach a birthmark?
A: Not all birthmarks can be bleached. Skin lightening, also known as skin bleaching, is a cosmetic procedure used to lighten dark spots on the skin or to achieve a more even skin tone. It’s typically used to mask blemishes like birthmarks and dark patches (melasma).
