Patient's question:
I was born with a fresh strawberry birthmark on my left lower eyelid, about 3 square centimeters in size. The doctor recommended laser treatment. Will laser treatment for strawberry birthmarks leave scars?Doctor's answer:
Laser cannot treat nevus flammeus, and it is easy to leave scars. The best treatment for nevus flammeus is the new generation of photodynamic therapy. It is recommended to treat children after they are one year old and to visit a specialized hospital for vascular tumors. When laser treatment is used for nevus flammeus, if the surgeon chosen by the applicant performs the operation skillfully, it is necessary to strictly follow the doctor's instructions after the surgery. Do not scratch the local skin or remove the fake skin with your hands. There will be no scars left at the treatment site, and the surgery is very safe with no risks.
