My DD (9mths) has a strawberry mark on the side of her back. It's lumpy and bright red though small and only about 6mm wide. It's raised and has grown a bit since birth.
My DH is all for lasering it now so she will not remember it later. He doesn't want her to undergo the OP when she's bigger or feel self-conscious about it when she is a teenager.
I do see his point but I think it's a special mark she has and it's only visible when swimming or later with a low cut back. I think it's a good indentification mark and I'd rather have that than a scar.
Have any of your DC had this? How did you deal with it? What can be done and how was recovery? Do your DC remember? Or did you leave it and did they want to remove it later? Thanks for your advice!
