A boy born with a rare mole that covering his entire body has learnt to deal with the bullies
News24xx.com - Tragic, a boy in the UK named Lucas Starr, 11, born with a rare mole covering his entire body. Now he has learnt to deal with the bullies, because all of his life, Lucas has struggled with his school life at times as he’s often targeted by bullies.
As information, Lucas has a dark-coloured and often hairy patch of skin called a giant congenital nevus. He endures constant health scares as the nevus is also on the inside of his body and can lead to fatal lesions on the brain.
In the past, Lucas, from Alaska, US, has battled through nearly 30 surgeries. The brain tumour was caught when it was very small and hadn’t developed into cancer. The nevus covers some of his brain and some of his spine.

His parents, Whitney and Devon Starr, have supported their son every step of the way. They both admit it was a very scary time when Lucas was born, as doctors could not diagnose the rare mole at first.
Lucas said, "Whilst I’m out in public, I don’t like when people stare at me. I don’t know what they are thinking about me and the way I look and stuff. Some of the time, I don’t enjoy going to school because kids bully me. I don’t know why, because I’m the same as everyone else. I just look different."
His father, Dad Devon, 35, said, "His biggest scare this summer when he was rushed to hospital with a tumour. It was a real struggle and it was really scary. Since he was three months old, Lucas has had up to 30 surgeries."
Nevus is all over him. It means, he can get more serious problems.
His mother added, "Lucas is a strong-willed kid. He came out as a fighter. Since he was born, people always stare at him. They don’t understand. It’s hurtful and traumatising for children when they get made fun of."
The condition of giant congenital nevus usually starts in the first eight to 14 weeks in the womb. Basically, it's looks like charcoal burnt.
