Hi Birthmarks are of different types and treatment will depend on type as well as size of the mark. Photograph was needed to comment on specific treatment. Birthmarks are better left alone. Surgical excision or Laser are few of the options. Please consult a dermatologist to discuss suitable treatment options for you.
