Chad Blythe, United Kingdom (UK), Norwich

Hi my name is Chad, I’m 21 and I was born with a port wine stain on the right hand side of my face going up to the top of my head. Up until the age of 6 I had 12 laser surgery’s to reduce the redness/brake up my birthmark. Throughout my childhood I never had any problems because of my birthmark, or if I did they were small that I can’t remember them. I normally forget I have a birthmark unless it catch it in the mirror or someone looks. I don’t have a problem people asking me questions about my birthmark, I’d rather them ask then just stare. You should never be afraid of what people think or say about it, it only matters what you fell inside. I personally don’t think is has held me back, in some ways I think it has helped.
