A rare birthmark marked the beginning of a heartening moment for a relieved mother, as her baby girl bid farewell to it on her forehead, despite initial criticism from medical authorities.
A rare birthmark
Introducing Celine Casey and her two-year-old daughter, Vienna Shaw, born with a rare congenital melanocytic nevus (CMN) on her forehead, a birthmark seen in just one out of 20,000 newborns. Upon learning about the mark, Celine felt overwhelming worry, questioning her pregnancy and uncertain about its impact on her daughter’s life.
What she was sure of, though, was her desire to have it removed, hoping for Vienna to have a carefree childhood without feeling unique.
