Should I get cosmetic surery for my birthmark?

I want to but then again I don't. It's too hard to make up my mind. It bothers me like I don't wear shorts or skirts that show it because it's on my leg. And its like an oversized mole. about ten small moles put together! but I'm scared that it's going to be very painful! Well the doctor said that it is and there is no risk of danger or anything but I will have a scar there. Better than nothing right?

I have the same thing, it's at the top of one of my legs and you see it with shorts etc.

Most people that see it don't even notice and some say it's sexy, don't worry about it, it's part of what makes you, you.

Don't remove it, cosmetic surgery can be dangerous, it's all over the papers today about a woman that had liposuction and died and then the article goes on to quote the odds of the dangers.

Be proud of it don't hide it!

mine is on my lower neck and when i was a toddler, i would try to pull it off (yeah, it hurt =/) and now its like barely hanging on lol but i wish i never did it – it hurts & i asked my doctor about it and he said it's better to leave it on because it's not that noticable and i would have to go through a lot of pain & blood to get rid of it.

i know someone with a huge birthmark on their ***. so don't be embarassed

That doesn't sounds very big. Personally i would think it is sorta cool, like an identifying mark that only you have. Maybe wait a few more years till you make the decision. in the meantime, feel free to wear skirts and shorts- probably no one will notice!

I definately think that you should keep your birthmark. I would rather have a natural birthmark than a scar in its place.

Dont do that. What do u look like going into a dang Hostpital or going to your family members saying. "O, I dont like my BIRTHMARK so I'm goin to get surgery." You would sound dumb when your r very SMART. Birthmarks are a symbol that represents you. Mine is under my chin. Ewww, but o well it doesnt get noticed. much ♥, ♥TT
