Hi. This is my first post. But it caught my eye. Even though now I am fine with my birthmark, it did effect how socialized with other people. I am 31 now, but growing up, I feel it prevented me from asking out girls when I got into my teen years. (I thought they would never go for a "freak" like me). They called me "Kool-Aid", "Period Face", and kids would accuse me of playing with Tampons. I would like to tell you that things would be dandy, but if you have the chance to seek treatment, I would jump on it. I am also sure that they would be more affordable now, then in the 80's when this kind of thing was new.
