So...tell me about your scars. email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 68/100. miamilady (2498)   ranked 3,236 out of 38,357 in life9 months ago

I remember having this conversation with friends when I was younger.
Sometimes, it almost seems to become a "competition" of sorts.
Comparing "battle scars".
My daughter sometimes like to show me her scars and reminisce about how she got them.
It almost seems as if it's a "memory book" of sorts mapped out on our bodies.

I used to have a scare on my temple. That was from a run-in that I had with a table.
I don't remember the incident, because I was too little (about 3 at the time), but I remember being told, as a child, how it happened.

I have a scare on my knee. That was from either skateboarding or bike riding as a kid. Oddly, I remember my nasty childhood habit of picking my scabs more than I remember how I got the scar.

For many years, I had a scar in the palm of my hand. That one was from falling against a barbed wire fence as I was rounding a corner on my bike.

Do you have scars? Do they bring back fond memories? Do they bring back bad memories? Tell me about your scars.

I have a few. I will start with the oldest. I have a small scar right above my right nostril. Its where i dog bit through my skin when i was real young. I was around the age 6 I wanna say. I had to get stitches. Second scar is on my middle right finger. A spider bite that got infected and had to be cut open to squeeze out puss. Alot more painful then it sounds. I was pregnant at the time too. Another scar is on the other middle finger on my left hand. Its where i grabbed the top of a can wrong just last year. It sliced through my finger causing me four stitches. It was also painful. I dont think i have any more but i will say the best scars i have is on my stomach called stretch marks. Yep those are ones i dont see going away and remind everyday of the months i carried my son.

I may have to rething reading all the replies lol Cutting yourself with a can. That sounds like the worst one, in my mind! I'm squeamish about certain things. I'm not sure how I'm going to make it through these replies.

I never thought of stretch marks as scars, but I guess they are.
Fortunately, I didn't get any on my stomach.
Unfortunately, I got them in OTHER places. lol
my chest and my thighs and probably some on my behind.

And you're right, they are reminders of the precious children we brought into the world.

Thanks for the response.

Yes, I have scars which I can clearly remember getting, some recent and some not so recent. I have a scar on the inside of my foot where I trod on a piece of cinder and it cut into me. I have one on my knee which I obtained when I tried to jump over the garden wall and didn't quite make it, tearing my knee in the process. I have one on the back of my right wrist, where I burnt myself taking something out of the oven about fourteen years ago. I have one under my chin where I fell off my bike whilst biking back from a cricket match with my dad, onto a newly tarred road, cutting my chin on the little chips of gravel, and finally, I have one on my forehead, where I fell of my scooter, and the handle, which had lost its rubber grip, decided to embed itself in my forehead.

That's my lot, my friend... I wouldn't be surprised if I manage to collect a few more. I was a tomboy as a kid, and even now, I do some pretty reckless things! lol. Brightest Blessings.

I don't have any scars. So I don,t have any memory to reminisce. When I was a kid I was wounded but it never left any scars in my knee and elbow.

Do you have a year? That is how long it may take. LOL

I have had many surgeries and stitches so I will just do a quick run down (if I can remember them all....

Appendix
28 stitches in leg from swimming accident
3 stitches in foot from plate dropping on foot
Foot surgery (not related to previous)
Cesarean section
Other natural birth-related stitches that I will not mention (some mothers may know, lol)
Lumpectomy (2x)
Mastectomy
Removal of lymph nodes
Removal of one lymph node
Removal of scar tissue
Reconstructive surgery that basically put hundreds of stitches throughout my front torso
Eye surgery
Face lift (yes, I did, after all of that)

I have other scars from little accidents, falls, scrapes, but I cannot recall a lot of them, including dog and cat bites.

Happy living!! LOL

I have a c-section scar right above my pubic line. My daughter is about 11 months old. That one needs no explanation.

I have a scar on the inside of my left knee. I scraped my leg pretty badly as a child playing on some rocks. I tripped and fell and gashed my leg. I wound up having to have stitches and was left with a small maybe an inch long scar.

I also have one more on my shoulder from a skateboarding accident I think. My brother got a skateboard and I was determined to play with it and wound up falling off a ramp and landed on my shoulder, dislocating it. I was wearing a tank top so I got pretty torn up also.

I have one scar on my hand that was from putting my hand in a glass to clean it and it shattered so I had to go to the emergency room to get it stitched up. The other scars that I have are from me having surgeries. I have had knee surgery, bunion surgery, hysterectomy, hernia. They don't bring any kind of memories back. The surguries had to be done and that is the end of it. No memories involved.

Well, I have lot of scars. Let me just tell you one of it. I got a scar one on my wrist that looks like I slashed it with knife. The truth is I cut myself while cleaning window. I thought I was going to die at that time. But the bleeding then just stop and leave this scar. So I wonder what people thought on me whenever they see it?

hello. i have quite a number of big ugly scars in my legs and i got all of them when i was still a child. i am quite naughty then and i always love playing outdoors. i would climb trees, jump and race with other kids and explore places my parents warned me about. when you are a child, it seems you are clueless or mindless of the dangers, sheer curiosity gets the best of you. well as ugly as my scars look now, they are remembrance of my childhood days so i am not really so embarrassed of them.
