This is something that possibly can be done after consulting with a plastic surgeon. If the plastic surgeon agrees that the birthmark is removable either my Laser or surgical removal and consents to doing so. Being under the age of consent you will need parental permission. Be it Laser or surgical both techniques are consider surgery and invasive. Because of this until you are of legal age to consent you cannot have something of this nature done without parental permission that's the law and there is no way around it.
I have no idea what it will cost to have either procedure done. I would assume surgical removal will cost more than laser removal as the laser removal is probably an office procedure where as surgical removal requires a hospital an OR and everything that goes with it. One thing I am sure is it is cosmetic surgery and most insurance companies do not cover cosmetic surgery.
This is definitely something you need to speak to your parents about for they may have to bear the full cost of having the birthmark removed. I know you find the birthmark ugly but have you ever asked anyone other than a family member what they thought of it. I know some guys find birthmarks extremely sexy. It really depends on the birthmark, not necessarily the location. Since you did not describe the mark itself only the location I can't say.

Always love your body child. I would have another serious talk with your mother if I were you. Really tell her, how it upsets you. Ultimately your Mother will make the decision for you as you are a minor and have basically no legal rights to make your own decisions until you turn 18. However, maybe tell her you will even save up by taking up a babysitting job or something to help out. When you speak to her, be serious, do not get into a fight over it, and tell her that you want to have a grown up conversation because you need her adult advice.
