Can birthmarks be cured?

Many people are born with birthmarks on their bodies. Some grow on the back or hands, unevenly distributed. Some are harmless, while some affect the appearance or even are harmful to the body. With the development of society, people's concepts are also changing, so many people wonder whether this birthmark can be treated and whether it is a disease. In a few days, I will talk to you about whether this birthmark can be treated.

Birthmarks are generally caused by abnormal skin pigmentation or abnormal skin blood vessels, mainly including three categories: "spots", "moles", and "hemangiomas". Birthmarks may be found at birth or may only appear slowly after a few months of birth. Most birthmarks will gradually disappear as the baby grows, but a considerable number of birthmarks will never fade and may even grow larger with age. Some may be manifestations of internal diseases, which requires consultation with a professional dermatologist for early diagnosis and treatment. Birthmarks can generally be divided into pigmented and vascular types. Common pigmented types include Ota's nevus, congenital melanocytic nevus, cafe au lait spots, etc., while vascular types include port-wine stains, strawberry hemangiomas, etc.

This is an uneasy question that every child and parent will ask before treatment. In fact, laser is very painful, and the burning sensation is very similar to being snapped by a rubber band or burned by wax. The whole process requires comfort and perseverance from parents to overcome. Although general anesthesia can relieve pain, it increases the risks of treatment and is not currently recommended. Applying a local anesthetic patch or using a low-temperature cooling system can relieve children's pain. Although it is a bit painful when the laser hits the skin, it is still worth it as it can wash away the congenital scar.

After listening to the editor's introduction, everyone should have a new understanding of birthmarks. If you want treatment, you should do it as soon as possible, find a professional doctor for consultation, and go to a professional hospital for treatment. The treatment of birthmarks varies greatly. Some people have significant effects, while others have slow effects. Therefore, you must have sufficient time to receive a professional evaluation from a doctor before treatment. I hope everyone can pay attention to it.
