Quality of life after removing large birthmark moles
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how removing a large birthmark mole (a congenital melanocytic nevus) affects children’s quality of life and how much they feel stigmatized. It may help doctors understand what to expect and how to support kids before and after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has a birthmark mole present from birth that is at least 2 square centimeters
- The birthmark mole is planned to be removed with surgery
- Your child is between 9 months and 16 years old
- Both parents can speak and understand German well enough to complete study needs
- Your child has no major past treatments for this same birthmark (no prior surgery, laser, or dermabrasion)

This study is developing a questionnaire to measure how much a isthmocele (a pocket or weakness in the scar from a C-section) affects your quality of life. If you have symptoms like pain or bleeding after your cesarean, your answers will help create a better way to understand and treat this condition.
This study explores how parents feel and cope when their child has a large congenital melanocytic nevus, a type of birthmark. You would take part in a one-on-one interview to share your experience.
This study follows babies and toddlers with medium to large birthmarks to understand how they change over time and plan the best care. It will help doctors give better advice to families.
This early study tests whether a medicine called SADBE can help treat congenital (from birth) melanocytic nevi—large birthmark moles—before planned non-urgent removal. The goal is to see if SADBE is safe and helpful for these large moles.
This study looks at how certain birthmarks (nevi) change over time and might turn into melanoma. By studying tissue samples, researchers hope to better understand this process.
This study compares surgically removing the central mole (nevus) versus leaving it alone in people who have both halo nevus and vitiligo. It aims to see which approach helps repigmentation better.
