Get Involved
Tell your story
One way you can get involved is to contribute to our member stories. It’s a chance for you to help others by providing information about your birthmark or the journey you have been through with your child’s birthmark. You can include a variety of images of the birthmark before or after treatment. Of course, if you are just proud of your mark and want to tell everyone why then please click on the link below and fill in the online form.
Provide images
To make our new website as good as we possibly can we have a section that includes descriptions of many of the different types of birthmarks. In this section it’s really about the marks themselves. So a close up on the birthmark is important. We need to have some supporting information with the picture, for example the type of birthmark, roughly how old you were or your child when it was taken and whether it had been treated etc. It’s a very quick and easy form to fill in.

These stories and images will provide much needed awareness, assurance and help in the education of those seeking to learn more about birthmarks.
