I was born with a small mark that looks sort of like a blood blister/hickey combination. It's rather noticeable, because it's on my arm; and many people comment on it... I want it gone.
My mom insists that I should leave it there because it's a part of me, but it attracts unwanted attention and can't be covered by any sort of makeup- trust me, I've tried. And it's ugly.
Does anyone know what it might be called, or how it could be removed?

They don't really have a major name since it's just a birthmark.
& I'm pretty sure the only way to get it removed would be to have cosmetic surgery.
So try going to your dermatologist, (if you don't have one, I suggest you get one) and just have him/her tell you the pricing to get it removed and such.
