Every mom remembers the moment she held her baby for the first time, looking down at the swaddled newborn with the most love she has ever felt in her heart. But for Stephanie Brown, from Fenstanton in the U.K., that moment of bliss was overshadowed when she noticed something unusual on her baby’s back.

The new mom had spotted something not quite right on her son Oliver’s skin. “It was at birth, when he was given to me, that I noticed that there was a purple mark,” she told SWNS TV.

Brown then realized the mark stretched all the way down her son’s back. At first, though, she thought it was just a bruise. But she found out that, instead, it was a large mole.

In the grand scheme of things, being born with a mole didn’t set Oliver apart from the fray. Indeed, approximately one in every 100 babies is born with such markings. These moles may shift color and shape over time, and they can appear and disappear too. And so when a mole appears on a newborn baby, doctors won’t worry too much.

But Oliver’s mole was much larger than the average fleck or birthmark. In fact, it stretched the whole way down from the base of his neck, across his shoulders and down his spine. Consequently, doctors knew this was something out of the ordinary.

Soon after he was born, medics diagnosed Oliver with Congenital Melanocytic Naevi (CMN). The condition, which causes large moles and birthmarks like Oliver’s to develop, affects one in every 100 people. These moles are different than the average birthmark, as they normally measure more than 1 cm in diameter and grow as the child grows, too.

Unfortunately, this condition can leave children vulnerable to the most dangerous types of skin cancer. Most moles do not raise a person’s chances of growing melanoma, but the largest – like Oliver’s – put a person at risk, according to the British Association of Dermatologists.

These large moles can also cause problems if they spread, which puts Oliver in a particularly delicate situation. His mole is on his spine, so any movement up toward the brain could damage his nervous system and potentially threaten his life.

Of course, Oliver’s doctors know this and have kept a close eye on the boy since he was born. Brown told SWNS TVA that at six months, she took her baby for an MRI, “to make sure there weren’t any complications from growths on his brain or spine.”

“Fortunately, that was all given the all clear,” she continued. Now, she and her son check in with doctors every three months to make sure his skin is still its healthiest.

The Browns are also diligent in their protection of their son’s skin, since he’s so susceptible to cancer. In fact, they rely on a sun suit and prescription-strength sunblock to prevent Oliver’s mole from any damaging sun exposure.
