Welcome to the nevus family!

Whether you are a nevus owner, a new parent of a child with a nevus, or someone who just wants to know more about congenital melanocytic nevi, we're here to help.

We have been in your shoes.

The co-founders of Nevus Outreach, Inc. created this organization to help new parents of children with large nevi. They know firsthand the stress that misinformation can create, as one of the co-founders was told that his daughter's condition was terminal when she was born. Over two decades later, his daughter is healthy and happy. Unfortunately, many new parents of children with large nevi are told the same frightening misinformation. Nevus Outreach, Inc. provides support and information to help parents make informed decisions about their child's care.

CMN FAQs

Large congenital nevi occur approximately once in every 20,000 births.

Nevus-skin can range from thick with a folded appearance, to thin and fragile. Fragile skin can tend to tear more easily and may take a longer time healing.

Congenital melanocytic nevi form in the womb very early in development, within the first twelve weeks of pregnancy.

Nothing you did caused your child to be born with a nevus. It is not your fault.
