This article will shed light on some effective treatments that can help eliminate birthmarks or reduce their appearance.

Home Remedies

There are several natural ways to fade the birthmarks though they may not entirely eliminate them. Listed below are some of the most effective ones:

Lemon juice: Lemon is a natural bleaching agent and has skin-lightening properties. So, applying lemon juice to the birthmark will help you fade the birthmark over time. Using lemon for birthmark removal is not a complicated process. Just dab cotton in lemon juice, apply it on the birthmark and leave it there for 20 minutes.

Olive oil: Olive oil is a natural moisturizer, which helps re-hydrate the damaged skin cells. It helps lighten birthmarks as well.

Iodine solution: Iodine solution can also be used to remove birthmarks, especially moles. The process is straightforward. You need to apply iodine on the mole twice a day, and after some time, it will come off on its own. Iodine can help you remove a mole, but you need to be careful while using it as it is a toxic product.

Apple cider vinegar: Apple cider vinegar can surprise you when it comes to removing warts and birthmarks. It is an effective remedy for moles.

Topical Creams

Birthmark creams can also be used to remove birthmarks. These creams contain bleaching agents such as hydroquinone. These agents lighten skin tone, and as a result, birthmarks fade away.

Corticosteroids

In case topical and oral medications don’t work, corticosteroids can be used to remove birthmarks. They can be used in oral form, or corticosteroid injections are used to remove birthmarks. They work by speeding up the shrinkage of birthmarks, ultimately eliminating them.

Laser Treatment

Laser treatment is considered the most effective option for birthmark removal. For treating vascular birthmarks, laser works by making blood vessels less visible and prominent. In pigmented birthmarks, the laser breaks the pigments and fades the birthmarks, ultimately removing them.

Surgery

Surgical birthmark removal is often the last option when no other option works. Surgery is mostly performed for large birthmarks or for the ones that are found in internal organs.

The treatment may vary depending on the size, type, and location of the birthmark, and certain other factors. So, if you want your birthmark to be removed safely, it is essential to consult an experienced practitioner so that he or she can recommend a well-suited treatment.
