Jaipur, India
55 DoctorsAditya Nair, a 19-year-old university freshman,...
Aditya Nair, a 19-year-old university freshman, had a prominent, raised, reddish port-wine stain birthmark covering part of his right temple and forehead. It had thickened and darkened with age, sometimes causing mild aching, and was a source of significant bullying throughout his school years. Seeking a fresh start for college, he consulted a dermatologist who recommended pulsed dye laser therapy to lighten the colour, reduce thickening, and improve texture. The treatment experience was manageable but involved a series of sessions; each felt like a quick, hot rubber band snap against the skin, with temporary purpura (dark bruising) lasting 1-2 weeks. After six sessions, the birthmark is 70% lighter and much flatter. For Aditya, the physical improvement is secondary to the emotional transformation. He no longer feels the urge to style his hair to camouflage the area and describes feeling 'seen for my personality first,' a liberation that has boosted his social confidence immensely.
