I have a birthmark on the side of my face (towards my neck)?

Question

what do you think of birthmarks? i'm super self-conscience about it and want to get it removed but my mom said no. i hate it. i always try to hide it.

it's a little bigger than the size of a pinto bean (oval shape) and it's medium dark brown. it lies beneath my ear. i hate wearing pony tails and i'm a cheerleader =[

Answer 1

It's not very large.  Don't try to hide it, because it only makes it more obvious that you are hiding it.  It is more distracting to see a cute girl who is constantly trying to hide her face or move her hair around, that you tend to look at that area and focus on it. I knew a guy once with something wrong on his chin, and he was constantly jerking his head around trying to hide it.  He looked like he had a muscle jerk condition, which was really distracting.  

Once people have seen it, then they realize it's no big deal and ignore it.  If you have good medical insurance later, the doctor can remove it if it is growing or getting darker.  They would remove it to do testing.  If a scar is left after a medically necessary surgery, then they should fix that, too.  Other than that, have it removed after your get a job and have your own money.

i think birthmarks are cool, but i don't have one so i really can't talk. as far as i'm concerned they make you more interesting.. if people dislike you because of it they shouldn't be your friends anyway... i don't really have any practical advice though, as, if you're under 18 your mom has control.

I like birthmarks, I think there cool because everyone has there own birthmark. I would try and embrace it if I was you, don't try and hide it really! I think your birthmark sounds pretty awesome. I have a birthmark on the back of my shoulder, and its like medium size and it shows when I wear tank tops! But it doesn't bother me :)

Hope I helped!
