hi guys

i have this birthmark in my leg and i dont really have the confidence to wear a 2 piece bikini or even shorts coz im worried of criticizm. is there any product that can get rid of this? thanks!

i have one as well.
i'm not really sure how to get rid of it though.

How big is the birthmark?

A lot of people have birthmarks they don't like, but since they're so common I'm sure it's not as bad as you think it is.

Chop it off!

Erm, no... don't. If it's something that really concerns you I'd suggest to go see a dermatologist about it. There's many different types of birthmarks and they may even be able to remove it for you. Lots of people have birthmarks, so it's probably not even that big of a deal. Embrace your differences

I believe that they can be lasered off, though.

they are big if u combine them all. they spread almost all over the upper part of my leg. its so embarrassing....and disgusting just imagine u have brown spots in ur leg...going to the beach is not really fun for me

Maybe find a cute pair of board shorts that'll match your bathing suit?

I have twin scars on my back.
If you really want to get it removed... you could probably get it laser-ed off. Here's a link to a news story about a a girl getting her birthmark treated or something.

Why not try and embrace it as your own? It's an identifying mark.

What type of birthmark is it? Is it a pigment? Well, if you were born with it, I don't think you should hide it. Embrace it! Shake what cho momma gave ya. If anything, try to get it removed laser status.

hi guys

i will try the laser treatment if i can get rid of this. thank you so much for all the replies. i really appreciate

I have scars on my legs from shaving when i was a kid and i hate my legs but you know what i got over it and wear shorts and my bathing suit because in the middle of summer i dont want to look like a loser and be sweating hot! I dont have any birthmarks, but one of my friends has like this HUGE and i mean HUGE birthmark all on her stomach because of her genetics (its pail white) and she just goes around like its no big deal.

I HAVE A FISH BIRTHMARK ON MY NECK

I also have a matching birthmark with my cousin



you could try putting sunscreen on your birthmark, then go tanning LOL..works for me because my birthmarks are always more noticeable when I'm paaaaale

loincloth

i have a birthmark on my belly. where it is, it sits right above my pant line and below my shirt line.
so if i raise my arms, you see it.
if i wear a mid-drift shirt, you see it.
it's also in quite a non-nice place for the growing belly during pregnancy.

it's not huge, but it's most certainly not small. the most noticeable thing about it is that it is about 20 shades darker than my skin tone. i used to joke and say that all my native skin colour went to THAT one spot, rather than my entire body. that's why there's a huge colour different.

i'd post a pic, but i don't think everybody wants to see my preggo belly and birthmark, but if you want to see it, PM me and I can send you a link.

i used to be embarrassed by it... but... now i just don't care anymore.
having esteem while sporting a birthmark isn't that bad.

at least you're not like... 300 pounds wearing a tubetop (made for a really skinny chick) that says "babygirl" or "cutie" or "princess" on it.

SO TRUE.

Who cares
it's your birthmark
God made you the way you are.

be happy.

is ur birthmark like purple? i have 3, 2 small that you cant really see and one big one on my arm. its just a lil bit darker than my skin. so if urs is jus a lil darker than ur skin i wouldnt worry bout it but if its like a purple color you could prob go 2 the doctor and ask how to get rid of it. but dont b worried. people will only make fun of you if you dont show any confidence. confidence is key. so jus show it and they'll believe it.

Agreed, and I'm pretty sure the only way to get rid of it is by laser..

I wouldn't worry so much about it, people aren't going to say much, I mean my god its not like you can do anything about it.

I used to have a huge birthmark on MY FACE. It got SO ANNOYING because random kids would say, "You have something right here" *points to face* or "I think you have some chocolate left on your face"
Since the doctors were kinda worried about it(because it showed signs of cancer), I got surgery (nothing big of course), but it turned out it wasn't cancerous.
