DD is only 7 months old so I know this is a long way off, but comments and questions etc have left me worrying about the future. Basically DD was born with a totally harmless but very obvious birthmark on her forehead and one on her eyelid(looks like a 'V' on her head and a bit like she's got a bruise on her eye) MW and HV have both noted in her red book that its a birthmark "to make sure it's not mistaken for abuse" which I get, I really do. But there have been incidents since then which are making me worrying about how it's going to affect her as she's grows up and becomes aware of herself and how she looks.Incidents include children asking 'whats that?' and 'does she have eczema?' (both questions which I've had to answer and have done so in a relaxed, friendly and informative fashion. After all they are only children) Total strangers commenting on 'how their children had something like that' (totally unprompted BTW), family members asking what the docs have said about it sticking around/going (DD's GGM, got to love the 'to the point' approach of a woman in her 80s) and most recently at a doctors appointment the first words out of the docs mouth were 'thats quite a rash' I'm genuinely worried that when she starts school etc kids are going to be awful to her about something which in my mind just makes her unique. She is a beautiful, bright, smiley and sociable little girl and I don't want those traits to be hampered. AIBU to worry about what to say to her or think about what could be done about it? NB I don't think anything needs to be 'done about it' but I worry that if it impacts her confidence in the future that perhaps this is something that might need investigating.
