“One day I remember being on the school bus and hearing a young boy laugh at me and call me a spotty dog,” Swaringen explains. The incident knocked her confidence, she added.
“I was only young and it made me feel different to the other kids, like something was wrong with me.”

Her largest birthmark stretches from her lower thigh to her belly button.Swaringen has come to accept her condition despite hurtful comments and bullying she has received. She remembers a lot of people stare and say bad things towards her because they are not used to see someone like her with such condition.
A thing that has always helped her deal with the psychological effects of the condition is something which Swaringen’s mother told her a long time ago, “I remember when I started school my mum told me that my birthmarks were angel kisses – and that really stuck with me.”
