From the age of six months, Beatriz underwent multiple operations
to remove as many of her birthmarks as possible.
These areas were then grafted with unaffected parts of her skin,
which mostly came from her legs.
However, Beatriz decided having so many surgeries
was holding her back from living her life to the fullest.
So she decided to stop having treatment for her skin condition.
Despite growing up with a strong positive attitude,
that didn't stop her from being targeted by bullies due to her appearance.
Even though she was teased,
Beatriz continued to remain positive.
And there was one person who saw past her skin condition.
Six years ago, she met her husband Felipe.
Today Beatriz is meeting the founder
of a local congenital Nevus support group.
She's hoping to give some advice to the founder’s daughter Taina,
who also has the condition.
