I was born with a large birthmark called Congenital Melanocytic Nevus (CMN). It covered the majority of my right cheek and nose. At 9 months old I had my first operation to remove my birthmark. I'm now 15 and have had 7 operations at Great Ormond Street Hospital. I am supported by an amazing charity called Caring Matters Now which is where you can get more information about CMN.
