Scarlett Clarke, 13, has more than 1,000 moles across her body, caused by the skin condition CMN which she has had since birth.
Congenital Melanocytic Naevus is a rare skin condition that causes dark-brown birthmarks all over the body.She tells Sky News how she lives with her condition.I think my first memory would be at about four years old when I started to notice everyone was staring at me. I soon got used to it and decided the best thing to do was just smile back at them and then they would either look away or smile back at me.
Dancing and performing has always been my passion from an early age. It has help me to accept my skin and to gain confidence in who I am rather than the way I look.While I am performing I feel people are staring at my for the right reasons not just because I look so different. I wear the same dance costumes as everyone else.
