SocietyWoman with congenital melanocytic nevus: ‘My skin makes me unique, and I’m learning to accept it’

Laura Kelly, 28, was born with congenital melanocytic nevus, with birthmarks covering 98% of her skin, and underwent 14 operations as a baby. After years of hiding her appearance with makeup and clothing, she is gaining confidence through meeting others with CMN and has begun showing more of her skin in public, including wearing shorts for the first time.
