###Human: Is it advisable to use laser to remove birthmark? ###Assistant: Hello. It would have been better if you could attach pictures of your lesion for proper diagnosis and treatment. From your description, it could be a port wine stain or may be congenital melanocytic nevus. For its treatment, lasers are available like pulsed dye laser, an alexandrite laser, etc. Its price varies in different countries. But usually considered to be an expensive procedure. 6 to 8 sessions are usually required but can vary according to the lesion. Lasers can have side effects if not properly performed like scarring, etc., but in the majority, it has good results. There is no such cream that can fade birth-marks. The only treatment option is laser.
