Our little girl (born 6 days ago) has what has been diagnosed as a congenital nevocellular nevus covering just over half of her head. Fortunately, the vast majority of it will be covered by her hair with only a small amount visible at the top left hand side of her face.
We can cope OK with the aesthetics of it, however, after doing some reading (a very bad idea in hindsight!) her nevus (the giant kind) has a very high risk of developing into malignant melanoma, likely before she is 3 years old! We are trying not to panic too much until we get to see a paediatric dermatologist, however, I was wondering if anyone else had any experience with this type of birthmark. Thanks in advance!
