About CMN Ambassador- Alyson

I was born with a congenital melanocytic nevus (CMN) that covered nearly my entire face, except for the area around my mouth, along with many satellite nevi. I began removal surgery at just 18 months old, which included skin grafts using tissue expanders, scar revision, and laser treatments. 

Born in 1987, there was very little known about CMN, and as their firstborn child, my parents had a lot to navigate. The resources, information, and organizations available today would have been invaluable to them. By sharing my story, I hope to provide families considering removal surgery with firsthand insight from someone who has experienced it both as a child and as an adult. 

As someone born with a facial CMN, raising awareness is important to me because it creates a community for individuals with CMN and their families. It also gives us the opportunity to show the world that we are so much more than our nevus or our scars. 

I have experienced people judging my abilities based on my appearance, and I know firsthand how painful that can be. I want to share my story to provide hope and support to individuals and families affected by CMN, while showing how understanding and encouragement can empower those living with a nevus to embrace who they are and all that they can become.
