The mum of a girl with "purple" birthmarks bravely admitted she hid her from strangers for SIX weeks after she was born - and even used filters in photos she posted online. Sara Farrow, 27, was scared of people seeing her newborn daughter Lacey-Dee Barrett in pubic because of the port-wine stain birthmark covering 90% of her body. It was caused by the abnormal development of her blood vessels during pregnancy and protective Sara was scared people would single out her daughter. So for the first six weeks of her life, single mum Sara covered her daughter’s bright-coloured skin and hid her away from strangers.
