Do you have any scar? How did you get it?

We all get injured sometime no matter how much we protect ourself. Some scars are visible while some are hidden deep in our heart. I recall the day I got my first visible scar while playing a cricket. I got a deep cut in my leg. I was only 7 then. I self-treated my self because I was afraid that my mom will scold me for getting myself injured. Then after a some years when I was in high school I got my first non-visible scar. I was cheated by the girl I loved the most. But luckily I met someone more special that made my earlier scar vanish. Do you have any such scars?

I have lots of scars on my body in all different places as i suffered very bad one year with psoriasis that left scars and they show up more in the summer as they go bright white after the sun has made my arms go red.It looks like the scars are from self harm.

Is it painful and how do people react to it?

I am now 38 and now i do not care what people say as i used to wear long sleeved tops to cover the scars but now as i am getting older i do not care what they think or say as deep down i know i am a nice person and thats all that counts i think.Psoriasis is a constant problem with me and all my friends know it is not catching so now i wear short sleeved tops.

Hi Biman, I have quite a few scars, though none really serious in nature. When I was younger I used to fight a lot with my brother, and so I have lots of little nail marks over my hands where he tried to rip out chunks of my flesh (I think he has a few from me too lol). Other than that I have one on my thumb where I cut it in Design class in high school, and then random ones that show the scars of my mind, I like those though, they have personality. As for the scars of my soul or mind I have lots of those as well, though I tend to use them to remember things, or to learn from. The worst (if they count) are caused by regrets, or some shame of how the less mature me was , I am getting over them now though. I am glad you met someone that made your inner scar vanish All the best, Dranz

Oh my scars. I have a lot. The biggest one is right down the middle of my back from a spinal fusion. I have many other surery scars. And yes a scar on my heart from my first love. I also have mental scars from being abused most of my life. So I gave myself a purple heart. It`s tattooed on my right thigh. Thats my way of remembering I survived and God help the next man that puts his hands on me. They will need two ambulances. And I will gladly go to jail no problem. Yes your honor I did that to him and I`ll do it again.

Hmm... I only had visible scars, I got it when my neighbor told me that their dog won't bite. I guess they were wrong, their dog bit me and now I have this ugly scar the size of a coin in my left leg.

Forgive me for laughing its a rather funny way to get a scar. It must have been very painful. Was the dog given vaccine before it bit you.

I have some scars on my leg ,it is due to mosquitoes bites. I got to know Mederma scars cream and it is quite effective. Some of my scars are there for long period of time,it takes time to get it vanish. After appyling for months, I saw the results, the scars are getting faded,not really that obvious. I even tried to apply this scars cream on my son's leg and it is works for him too. Nowadays, I also apply anti-mosquitoes lotion to protect myself from mosquitoes bites. It is one of the solution to prevent any more scars on my legs.

When I was very young, about 4 or 5, I was at the beach wading through a deep pool. I trod on broken glass hidden beneath the water and cut the side of my foot, I still have the scar.

I have a scar on my inner arm from making rock candy when I was younger. I dropped the spoon on my arm and it ripped the skin off along with burning me pretty badly. I also have some chicken pox scars even though I never had them. My mom was pregnant with me when my sister got them so I had them in the womb. Weird huh?

The scar that I remember getting the most is right above my upper lip that I got when I was about six years old. The window in my room was pretty high up and my bed was right underneath it and I had a cat that would sleep up in the window every night. Well early one morning something startled him and he jumped out of the window with his claws bared and landed right on top of my face!! Needless to say my parents to him to get de clawed shortly after the accident. It is funny to look back on it now and tell people how I got the scar but at the time it was pretty traumatic for me!
