What Nevus Outreach Does Not Do


For the record, we wanted to take a second to point out some things we don't do.

Help With Medical Expenses

Need help with medical expenses? We don't help people with medical expenses, at least not yet. We may someday, but right now we don't.

Non-CMN Nevi

Do you have another kind of nevus that's not a large congenital melanocytic nevus? (Spitz, sebaceous, blue, blue rubber bleb, epidermal, liner epidermal, Beckers, Clarks, Jadassohn, to name a few). We don't know very much about other kinds of nevi. We deal only with large pigmented moles present at birth. We apologize if this has inconvenienced you, and we hope you understand. Here are some resources for other kinds of nevi.

Online Forums

We don't have forums anymore. We did for 35 months from June 2004 through May 2007. During that time we learned that our email-based support group had almost 24 times as much traffic.

Online Chat Rooms

We don't have chat rooms. We tried that before, too.

 

Note: remember that there are maybe 600-1500 people in the USA who are seeking the involvement and support we provide. Don't compare the large nevus world to bigger online communities where their forums and chat rooms are always bustling. We feel it makes sense to focus everyone in one direction, and our most historically successful arena is our email based Nevus Outreach Support Group.

If you have questions or comments, feel free to Contact Us.

We also DO things...

Contrary to what you might think after reading this page, Nevus Outreach is actually a very helpful, caring organization. We invite you to continue to browse the site, or check out some of these pages:
