For anyone who has felt defined by a visible health condition, this message from @sruhtaylor is for you:
•••
"My birthmark is badass. I feel lucky to have it. But even if I didn't, I'd never try to change it or cover it up to meet a societal beauty norm. My self-worth doesn't come from the way I look, it comes from who I am. Putting any kind of value on something as subjective and accidental as physical beauty has never made sense to me."

✨ BIRTHMARK✨For as long as I can remember I was always finding ways to cover my birthmark. Something that I was born with, everyday I hated myself for it, every day I wanted to get rid of it. I wanted to try even knowing that I would have lost my eyesight if I had removed it. Everyday I felt like I wasn’t good enough, I felt like why me? The pain and the bullying I went through, only I’ll know and I carry it with me through my life. I used to cry and cry till there were no tears left, but now I’ve realised at the age of 23 that I’m not different, I am enough. I was blessed with something that helped me find my purpose in life. I found my passion through learning a new art and it wound up being one of the biggest lessons. Funnily, it’s true when they say we only show the best parts of our lives on IG, well I want to show you the truth. Raw truth. Raw emotions.

Often I wonder if I had seen images like these when I was younger, I would have started to accept myself and the way I look much sooner, but at 12 or 13 I didn’t have Instagram, body positivity and celebrating differences weren’t concepts people talked about like they do now.
By posing for and uploading images like these, we are both helping ourselves to own and love our differences personally, and to hopefully let today’s young people and families affected by CMN or other visual differences to love and accept their skin. Nobody should feel they have to hide or cover themselves up.
I am excited to be taking part in @caringmattersnow ‘s amazing free exhibition called How Do You C Me Now? taking place from 14/03 - 24/03 at @oxotowerwharf in London featuring portraits of many people with CMN by @mrelbank (photos from this post are my own, if you want to see Brock’s amazing portraits you’ll have to go to the exhibition!!) #lovetheskinyourein #cmn #birthmarks #birthmarkgang #bareyourbirthmark #portraits #model #nevus #nevuslove #bodypositive
"Over time, I ended up accepting my birthmark and thinking more and more about myself and less about others."
.
"Dissemblance" is a series of portraits of people who have a birthmark on their face. This work aims at questioning ourselves on the (non-)importance of physical appearance and more generally deals with the issue of being different. Soon exhibited in Paris.
Thank you Lylia to be part of this and share your story.

Charlie's Sweet Cheek Update!⠀
⠀
We haven't needed/had a follow-up with the dermatologist in a while, and today we went! Now that the hemangioma seems to be as involuted as it is going to be (AKA, no significant bulking left- just minor discoloration), it's time to start talking next steps if any.⠀
⠀
I know a lot of you are interested in those updates, so I wanted to share! At this point, we are checking with insurance and doing everything to get ready to start laser treatments as recommended by her dermatologist at Emory (who's one of the highest recommended pediatric vascular birthmark specialists in the country). ⠀
⠀
The laser will just be on the red parts and we will go every six weeks or so for several months if everything goes well. We will start by seeing if she handles it well with just me holding her and numbing cream. If she doesn't, she will be sedated for subsequent treatments. The sessions are about 30 minutes. ⠀
⠀
There's a lot to consider and weigh, but this is what we are doing at this point after talking to her doctors. We will follow up once more with ophthalmology to make sure all is well with her eye muscles, too. ❤️⠀
⠀
*every hemangioma, child, and treatment plan is unique, this is simply our experience.*
Have you ever felt like a square peg in a round hole? | Você já se sentiu como um peixe fora d’água?

Having a facial birthmark and scars made me feel like that many times in life. It was different when I went to the Nevus conference and met more than 100 people with stories like mine.
.
One of the best gifts I got from that gathering was meeting @libmolano. She is not only wonderful, but is the sweetest and most talented girl. She is a musician and if you are not following her yet you should! I truly hope the world gets to know your music. Happy Birthday, my friend!
.
Ter uma mancha e cicatrizes no rosto fez com que eu me sentisse assim muitas vezes na vida. Foi diferente quando fui à Nevus Conference em Chicago, e conheci mais de 100 pessoas com histórias como a minha.
.
Um dos melhores presentes que recebi desse encontro foi conhecer @libmolano. Ela não é apenas maravilhosa, mas é a guria mais doce e talentosa que eu conheço. Ela é cantora/compositora e se você não a segue, bora lá! Eu realmente espero que o mundo conheça a sua música. Feliz aniversário, minha amiga!

I take a lot of pics, but I do get self conscious sometimes. However, I feel so lucky and blessed to have a mother who understands that who I am and what I become will outlast the way I look and most important the negative comments I receive about the way that I look— specifically my birthmark. .
