A mum who wore make-up to "cover up" her birthmark for 20 years says having kids helped her "love" her difference as she didn't want to "hide" from them.

Frith Zerfahs, 44, was born with a port wine stain birthmark and grew up without representation around her.

At aged eight she started having laser treatment to lighten the pigments in her birthmark and believes she was one of the first in Scotland to have this done.

She chose to have laser treatment herself aged 21 after strangers comments made her feel she needed to "fix" it.
