    Has anyone had their radiation tattoos removed? If so how? They bother me more than I thought they would. I only have 3 small dots but I hate them. I know about laser removal but I was hoping that my PS could just “scoop” them off during my next procedure. I’d rather have a tiny scar than a blue dot. I plan on asking him but I thought I’d ask here to see if anyone else was bothered by them and had something done about it. Thanks:)

    twills - I have heard of some who have had tattoos with ink that matched their skin placed over their rads dots - essentially covering them up. Might be the fastest and least expensive fix. The only downside is that if you are tan when you get them they may appear darker when you are less tan, or conversely those spots won't tan later if your skin is lighter when you get them.
