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

- 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 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 study tests whether a topical drug called SADBE, applied to a congenital mole (a birthmark), can help reduce the mole before surgery. It is an early-stage trial, so it will help us learn if the treatment is safe and works.
This study compares removing the mole (halo nevus) versus leaving it alone in people who also have vitiligo. It aims to see if mole removal helps with skin repigmentation and disease control.
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 asks people who had skin cancer surgery about how they feel about their appearance, their scar healing, and their quality of life. It may help doctors understand what outcomes matter most to patients after skin cancer treatment.
