I learnt to love my facial birthmark after having children
Frith Zerfahs, 44, used to cover her port wine stain birthmark and had laser treatment to reduce the pigment but becoming a mother helped her embrace her difference.
Video transcript
It's a birthmark.
I was born with it.
It's called a Port Rin stain.
Yes.
Like someone spilled wine on my face.
It won't fade.
In fact, it will get darker.
No, it doesn't hurt.
No one hit me.
I was not burnt or scolded.
I know laser treatment is available.
No, it will not remove my birthmark.
I wasn't bullied as a child.
A birthmark doesn't define me.
Having one makes me kinder to those that deserve it and fiercer to those that don't.
I am loved.
I am enough.
This is me and this is how I drew myself when I was a child and as a teenager and this is how my Children draw me.
I wish I could have seen myself how they see me instead of wishing I was something else.
But I'm grateful to them that I can see it.
Now, look what I found at Aldi representation.
