I'm 15 years old and have a Port Wine Stain that blots out half of my face. It's really irritating to walk into a room and have everyone there stare at you and treat you like you have no feelings, so I'm interested in treatment. I'd like to know what can be done and if it is not too late to do something. Thank you so much!

I know how much emotional and social problems port wine stains could cause but I would like to tell you that you shouldn’t be that sensible when it’s the matter of them as people, the real ones, that is, would keep on loving you no matter what. I believe it could be pretty unpleasant to walk into a room and see everyone is staring at you but you have to ignore this.
I heard about various treatments for PWS, such as freezing, surgery, tattooing and radiation, but among all of the methods, lasers showed the best results as they are destroying capillaries with no significant damage to the skin. It is a quick procedure without serious side effects, you could experience some swelling, redness, and maybe some dark gray color may manifest but would go away within a week. The results are certainly permanent and you should consult your dermatologist about doing such a treatment.
Whatever you decide, I wish you a good luck!
