SINGAPORE - Where the marks on Rumi from Netflix's animated film K-pop Demon Hunters are purple, those on nine-year-old Phoebe Hu's arms and body are light brown.As a result, she is often bullied in school, with her schoolmates telling her she will turn dark-skinned soon.Often called «cafe au lait» spots by doctors, the flat, light-to-dark brown birthmarks that resemble «coffee with milk» on Phoebe's skin are the underlying signs of a genetic condition known as neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1).NF1 causes changes in skin pigment, including flat, light-brown spots and freckles on the armpits and groin. It also causes the growth of benign, slow-growing tumours that develop on or under the skin from nerve cells. These tumours, called NF tumours, can appear as soft lumps throughout the body.Phoebe's condition was discovered when she began having pain behind her right ear around March 2023, her mother Pearlyn Goh, 42, said.She was brought to KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKH), and an MRI scan, three doctors and a genetic test later, Phoebe was diagnosed with NF1.
