Can I get rid of birthmarks?

Well a birthmark is a blemish on the skin and there are many different types. Some are present at birth; others appear in the first few weeks of life. They can be red (blood vessel marks), brown (moles) or blue-ish birthmarks. They can also vary in size. Sometimes a birthmark is permanent. Port wine stains are a red or purple area of skin present at birth - they affect three in 1,000 babies. In about two thirds of affected babies they appear on the face. A port wine stain usually becomes darker and thicker with age and, having been flat, may develop surface lumps. These birthmarks can occur due to lack of smooth muscle lining around thin walled blood vessels (capillaries), or they can be due to lack of nerve fibres which usually supply the blood vessels.
