What Causes Movement In Birthmarks?
Hi, I have nevus of ota in the left side of my face an i got laser on it 3 months ago it sorta lightened up a little. Im 16 by the way. I have noticed that my birthmark is moving more towards my face an i was wondering if i when back to get laser again would it stop moving ? Or what do you recommend?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Multiple sittings of laser are required to remove Nevus of Ota because of deeper location of pigment. You do not need to worry. Please be patient and continue and undergo laser therapy by your dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
