The mother is frightened when she sees her baby born with spots all over his body and understands what he has

We never know how our unborn child will look. Some are born with spots, for example, which eventually disappear and are not serious. Others may come into the world with a symptom that alerts doctors. Unfortunately, that’s what happened to Kara, a mom living in Atlanta, USA. When baby Dylan was born 5 years ago, doctors immediately knew something was wrong with the little boy.

About 80% of his body was covered with dark spots. Seeing this, his parents feared the worst. Doctors then discovered that little Dylan was suffering from a very rare condition called congenital melanocytic nevus. It is a skin malformation present from birth, and therefore congenital, which is manifested by a dark spot, explains the Nevusglobal site on its site.

The doctors explained to Kara that the child would face many surgeries in the first years of his life. Patients suffering from this rare condition are indeed at high risk of developing skin cancer. Therefore, it is important to monitor the progress of each task over time.

The stain covering little Dylan’s back was so large that the doctors had to intervene surgically by taking the skin from other parts of the body. Over the years, doctors subjected the child to more complex operations. In order to have more skin available for transplantation, they inserted implants similar to breast implants into her body.

Dylan brought these implants for three months. The idea was to cover the stains with new skin. After 26 operations, the doctors managed to remove about half of the stain. Hours and hours of examination, painful interventions but despite everything, Dylan faced the situation with great courage and a great desire to live.

Dylan knows he’s different from other kids. He is often stopped in the street, everyone wants to know how he feels. Sometimes people are particularly unpleasant with him.

Once at the supermarket, they asked him to leave because a customer was disturbed by the appearance of him. But Kara is not ashamed of her son. She is very proud of him and wants him to lead as normal a life as possible. Dylan is a brave child, an example for all of us.
