A young woman from Bremen, Germany, was born covered in birthmarks due to a rare skin condition. She was bullied relentlessly as a child, but she didn’t let cruelty bring her down. Instead, she focused on working on her confidence and on building a successful modeling career.
When Marika Nagy (a.k.a Marynevus) was born, her parents were a “little shocked” to discover that she was covered in spots, her father recalls in an interview with Barcroft TV in 2018. Doctors had even told the parents their newborn had a 50 percent chance of not surviving. She was then diagnosed with a condition called congenital nevus, which is a type of birthmark that covers a large portion of her skin. Marynevus started as an infant, and she had to undergo seven skin removal surgeries. And she also runs a higher risk of developing cancer.
