Will The Skin Peel Remove My Birthmarks?
Hi, my skin clor is tan but i have a lot of birth on my skin that is atleast 3 shades darker than my overall skin color. My birth marks are located on mt inside thigh, legs, between my butt and where my butt and thighs meet. I was thinking to buy a skin peel. Will the skin peel remove my birthmarks?

Hello, birthmarks have melanin located deep in the dermis, while none of the peel works at that level..so, no, peels don't remove or lighten ur birthmarks.
I would adv u to consult a dermatologist for ablative lasers like Er:YAG for ur birthmarks.
Thank you
Take care
