Stephanie and Dan Dworsky were stunned when their son Kacy was born on June 9, 2016, with melanocytic nevus, a rare condition affecting 1 in 500,000 that causes large black spots across the body and slightly increases skin cancer risk. Covered in spots on his face, legs, back, and arm, Kacy’s appearance led doctors to warn the family about potential stares, hurtful comments, and prejudice. Stephanie admits to feeling guilt and sometimes avoiding outings to shield him from judgment, but the couple is determined to raise awareness so others see Kacy as the sweet, healthy child he is, helping change perceptions about rare skin disorders.
