/ Mom / Baby / "I will teach you to love your skin" A moving letter from a mother to her baby with nevus
Having a different child is what Christina finds out, just giving birth to a baby with giant moles all over her body.
At the end of December 2017, Christina, a young American woman, becomes a mother for the first time.
She then discovers that her son, Christopher Junior has many birthmarks, spots and moles all over his body. One spot is particularly extensive, on his face.
Seeing her son physically different from other little boys, this mother mad with love and worry about the mockery and other hardships her son risks encountering while growing up writes a touching love letter to him that she posts on Instagram.
In this letter, Christina expresses all her love for her son and assures him of her full support in the face of the trials he will have to face.
I will teach you to love your skin
"Letter to my son ??
I want you to know how unique and precious your birthmarks and moles are to me. You are my first child. My first son My first everything, I will teach you to love your skin, You taught me in no time what it is to be a mother. You taught me to be altruistic. You taught me pure love … And that's such a scary thing, but more than that, it's beautiful. And I still have a lot to learn.
Thank you for being the one with whom I was able to experience all these firsts. There is no one else who could have done it. I pray that you will never let this world spoil your bright and charming personality. I pray the world won't be that cruel to you, because it will be cruel. But I'll do my best to soften it, even if it's just a little. I pray that you will be courageous, kind, generous and patient. I already see a lot of these things in you, and it makes me so proud that you are mine. ?

Christina, in a second Instagram post, thanked everyone who cheered her on, praised her and said sweet words to her. These kind looks on her son were a huge help for her to forget about the nasties and horrors that may have been written about her son after his first post.
Each child is unique, each child is remarkable. Let's learn to change our perspective on disability, whether it is physical, mental or aesthetic.
If birthmarks are common in babies and regularly go away on their own. Congenital giant nevus is a congenital skin defect caused by a defect in embryogenesis. This giant mole can cover up to 90% of the body's surface. 1 in 50,000 newborns is affected by this anomaly.
