Can the blue birthmark be removed?

Many people have birthmarks. Birthmarks are present in every person's womb at birth. Many people don’t like their birthmarks because the appearance of birthmarks has a great impact on their appearance. So many people want to remove birthmarks. So, how to remove the blue birthmark? Next, let’s take a look at how to remove the blue birthmark.

The most common birthmarks on babies are stork bites on the back of the neck and eyelids. They are caused by the dilation of blood vessels and will gradually disappear within the first year. About 10% of newborns develop a strawberry birthmark - a raised, red, dot-like birthmark - in the first four weeks of life; it usually disappears within two years. If the birthmark does not disappear after 2 years, you can go for laser removal. But it must be done in a regular hospital and under the advice of a doctor. About 2‰ of newborns will have a port-wine birthmark, which is a flat red birthmark that generally does not fade. Theoretically, birthmarks can be removed, but it depends on the location, area, and color of the birthmark.

It is important to understand the nature of birthmarks. Generally speaking, red and black birthmarks are easy to remove, but blue birthmarks are not easy to remove (it is very likely that the pigment is not only in the epidermis, but also in the subcutaneous flesh, and it may spread rapidly).

The size, shape and location of the birthmark are also important. Generally, birthmarks on delicate skin are difficult to remove (such as facial skin), and scars are difficult to heal. It is difficult to find parts of the body with equally delicate skin for skin grafting. If the area is small, skin grafting is not necessary. If the area is large, there are other technologies besides skin grafting, called skin flaps. The operation takes a long time, and no matter what technology is used, scars cannot be avoided.

There are many ways to remove blue birthmarks, it depends on which one people like to choose. When people decide to remove a blue birthmark, they should consult a doctor in detail and not choose to remove the birthmark casually. If it does not affect you, there is no need to remove the birthmark, because birthmarks are also given to us by our parents.
