Mom doesn’t dare go outside with baby born with black spots

Baby Kacy was born with a skin condition that affects one in 500,000 people. When his parents first laid eyes on him, they were shocked and unaware of what was wrong.

Kacy’s body was covered in huge black spots. “They were just everywhere. Spots on his face, on his legs, his back is covered,” his mom, Stephanie Dworksy said.

The condition he suffers from, melanocytic nevus, is the reason he has these spots. While they do come with an increased risk of skin cancer, the spots themselves are otherwise harmless and mainly affect appearance.

“You know, you go through 10 months doing everything that you can do to have a perfect pregnancy and be healthy, and then you think you did something wrong,” Stephanie said, explaining that she sometimes feels guilty for her son’s condition.

Both she and her husband, Kacy’s dad, Dan Dworsky, are doing their best to raise awareness of melanocytic nevus. They want people to know it’s something you’re simply born with, and that the spots it causes are not contagious or a sign of poor health.

When Kacy was born in 2016, doctors warned the parents that his appearance would likely cause unwanted glances and comments.

“People are going to stare at him, kids may say some mean things (…) you may even find parents that don’t want their kids to be near him, because they don’t know what this is,” father Dan said.

While Kacy was still very young, there were days when Stephanie chose not to go out, worried her son could face ridicule or bullying.

“I try not to go out, and I feel so guilty about it,” she said at the time.

By sharing Kacy’s story, his parents hope people will better understand his condition and realize he’s no different than the rest of us.
