is there a way to remove birthmarks?

If you're just looking for a temporary solution for removing or masking your birthmark, I suggest maybe looking into some sort of heavy coverage type of makeup.  Dermablend makes a waterproof leg and body cover, as well as preparations for the face.  This might be an inexpensive option for you to explore as well.

Exfoliating is the answer. There are scrubs and mittens that do the trick. Speak to a dermatologist or speak to your pharmacist they can help. good luck :-)

I don't think it's possible, but see a dermatologist and a cosmetician to be sure.  There might be some sort of laser or something that will do this--you never know.

no. you have to go to the dr and they use a type of medical sand paper to scrap or remove the marks by sanding them down. other then bleaching them.

Stretch Mark Lightening Treatment \nThis is a wonderful, tried and tested treatment for stretch marks people get when they knock the pounds off. \n4Teaspoons brewed coffee\n1Cup coconut oil\n\n1. Mix the brewed coffee and coconut oil in a bowl. \n2. Allow it to boil. \n3. Remove from heat. \n4. Allow it to cool down to room temperature. \n5. Every night, rub this mixture over your stretch marks. \n6. This will gradually lighten the marks. \n7. If you want to remove the marks completely, you would have to go in for microdermabrasion.

I wish I could post my belly pic as I have the most heinous stretchies ever...I cant find a finger width of normal skin between them. You can have laser treatment (think tattoo removal) but it only eliminates 30% of the marks.  Don't bother with the cocoa butter stuff as that does as much for stretch marks as the gas and air does for labour pain (not much).  Apparently Bio oil can reduce them but not cure them. Just resolve never to wear a bikini again, or get them tattoo'd over to look like tiger stripes!!

unfortunately, stretchmarks are scars.  they will not go away.  you can however lighten them.  try rubbing cocoa butter lotion on them a couple times a day.  this will lighten them with some time.  you can also try maderma.  its a special cream designed for stretch marks.  you can buy it at walmart or and drug store.  im sure you can probably get it online as well.  just remember scars add character!!  the human body is full of flaws, but for that reason it is beautiful.

As far as I know you can have them "surgically" removed using professional microdermabrasion and/or laser resurfacing.  See a dermatologist to find out more or do a search on those procedures.

after having 2 kids, I also have stretchmarks.. I bought a cream that smooth it out from http://www.avon.com\nYes it works but a 100% . The celulite works on it though you have to put your part which is exercise and eat healthy and follow the directions. good luck

Fingerprints are detected by the oils left behind-washing them in soapy water would remove them-alcohol will also do the trick.

Your stretch marks will gradually become much less noticeable months after you give birth but will never go away as they are similar to scars. However, you can see a dermatologist to discuss treatment. Here are a few options:\n\n1. tretinoin cream (commonly known by the trade name Retin-A)\n2. laser therapy\n\nYour health insurance plan will not cover "cosmetic" procedures so you'll probably want to find out what this will cost. \n\nOTC preparations do not work so you would be throwing your money away.  Just give it some time.  Instead of focusing negatively on the stretch marks, concentrate on what a wonderful baby you now have.  There are many women who would gladly have your stretch marks if only they could be blessed with a baby.

Stretch marks are an inevitable result of pregnancy or rapid weight loss for some men and women. However, the following steps may help you reduce their appearance.\nInstructions \nSTEP 1: Brush your skin with a loofah or skin brush when you shower to stimulate circulation. STEP 2: Massage cocoa butter into the stretch marks. STEP 3: Use vitamin E oil on your stretch marks. Massage it into your skin after a shower. STEP 4: Talk to your doctor about using tretinoin cream on stretch marks. It is available by prescription only. STEP 5: Eat foods high in vitamins A, E and C (see Related eHows), or take supplements in addition to your diet. However, pregnant women should avoid taking more than 25,000 IU of vitamin A. STEP 6: Add foods or supplements to your diet that are high in zinc (see Related eHow), which is good for the skin, and silica (beets, brown rice, bell peppers, soybeans, leafy green vegetables and whole grains), which helps form collagen, the supporting fibers in the skin. STEP 7: Eat foods that contain essential fatty acids, which help make cell walls. Essential fatty acids can be found in many vegetables, vegetable oils and fish oils. Tips & Warnings \nLasers have shown some promise in reducing the appearance of stretch marks. They seem to work best on stretch marks that are still fairly new and are red or purple in color. \nCheck your local supermarket or drugstore for commercial creams such as Belly Butter, a moisturizing and replenishing maternity body cream. \nAlways consult your doctor or a medical professional before making changes to your diet.

There are lots of commercials that say you can get rid of stretch marks.  Unfortunatly once you have stretch marks  you will probably always have them.  You can use some lotions and creams, and in time they do fade, but they will always remain.  Vitamin E and Aloe Vera are good things to apply to them, but just help make them less visable.  I am not sure if you can get a chemical peel or not for them.  That of cource would be cosmetic surgery, and I suppose if you chose that route they may be able to help you.  \nGood luck and I hope this helps!
