Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.
If the mark is superficial then only local anesthetic will work and dr will simply clear the residual material. In case the mark is embedded deep then it might require general anesthesia.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
