For most parents, they think of their children as an angel that is sent from above. However, for mom Stephanie and dad Matt Brown, there is a close similarity to the description.
Oliver, their 2-year-old son was born with Congenital Melanocytic Naevi, a rare skin condition in which a person has huge moles and birth marks. This affects only 1 person in every 100 people. For the boy, it gave him a strange mark on his back that looks like feathered wings.
The boy’s birth marks starts from his hairline, runs across his shoulder blades and reaches half way down his spine.
Doctors said it must be checked every three months as his ‘wings’ may gravely affect his health and lead to death.
Though Oliver seems healthy, his parents are advised to always let him wear a sunsuit and prescription sunscreen against sun’s UV rays. This is to protect him from developing skin cancer as he is at high risk of acquiring it because of his condition.
Moreover, little Oliver’s condition opens him to threats of spreading the disease to his brain or spine, resulting to lesions and moles that could paralyze his nervous system
if it was in my country… one parent licks the birth mark and then it slowly disappears… if it doesn’t and instead gets worse the other one must then lick it… ahahaha i don’t know how science could explain that… englighten me ahah
