Can you count the scars on your body?

Of course you can but what i mean is, have you lost count? Are they too few that you can easily identify them? Me, i lost count but i recently added three after insects bit me on my arm.

Hi there modstar, I am a keloid former. Fortunately, I only have 1 but very conspicuous scar on my right elbow. It was due to the motorcycle accident we had last May of 2005. It was before 5AM and my husband was driving me to the office(in a motorcycle). A cab driver was sleeping while driving and he hit us from behind. It was a very ugly incident. I was not even wearing helmet then. There were full of bruises from my head to toes. My shirt was torn. The same thing happened to my husband. Though the Taxi Operator paid all the bills, it was not a very good experience that still lingers on my mind day in day out. Good thing is, the only mark remained is the scar I have in my elbow. It's about an inch and a half long and half an inch wide. About mosquito bites, I don't have any, fortunately for me!

That's the scary part of being on the road, no matter how careful you drive, there are lots of reckless drivers out there who'll make you closer to accidents.

aside from my two tattoos, which are a form of scar (and I love them) I have 3 scars from a dog bite on my nose one scar under my chin and another on my cheek from another dog bite one of unknown origin on my forehead one that's very nearly gone on my forearm from another dog bite 2 chicken pox scars, one on my wrist and one on my knee one on a knuckle from a door slamming on it one across my wrist from cutting it open when my hand went through a window I tried to open I think that's it. there's probably more than that though, knowing me. accident prone.

The real question is...how do you not accidentally count a scar twice? Do you do each one with a magic marker?

No, mark them with pins or thumb tacks. Lol! Does Tukay bite?

Ouch!!! No, Tukay doesn't bite...unless it's food. She can snag a tasty morsel faster than you can blink. The only things she doesn't like is spinach and mushrooms.

I have quite a few due to being in a camper trailer explosion when I was 10 years old. I have burn scars all over my arms and legs. I also have a scar on the inside of my elbow from donating blood and the person taking the blood was a newbie and didn't know what she was doing...I am very picky with who I allow to stick me when I donate now, lol.

I have only two scars and they aren't very bad actually. A tiny one on my left kneecap, I got hit by a bicycle when I was 6 or so. Another on my right arm, which I had got when I was about three years old, having fallen off the window of the bedroom while trying to ape my brother doing it lol

I have four main ones. three of the four I've had stitches. But then there are the ones where have been bitten by a bug or dog or even clawed by a cat. Then there are the childhood scares from falling and things of that nature. Then there are the scars you get when you accidently touch the oven in the wrong place when removing an item. ok thinking of the oven one I have 6 because I also have one where I cut myself in my sleep with my wedding ring some how. I guess if we think about it we can come up with all kinds.

I'm curious, are stretch marks considered scars?

Hello modstar, I am lucky that I don't have many scars and I think it is maybe less than five or maybe less than that Right now the one that is still obvious is one my back which I got it a few years back.

Well at least it doesn't look bad right? Your skin is pretty fair so it's an advantage unlike mine because i'm asian.

I have so many scars on me that I could not even bebin to count them. There is on in particular from back when I was 5 years old and walked into big piece of wood that was propped up against the house. I was walking around that day with my eyes closed and walked into it. My parents took me to the doctor. I still have a scar on my leg where the hole was. That was only the beginning. I am 53 years old and added some new scars when I tripped and fell down in the yard a few months ago. I am still adding them.

Oh, Gosh I only wish I could count the scars, then there'd only be a few. But I am clumsy and clutzy by nature and I am always finding a way to scar myself up. My most recent one is a scar on the end of my finger, I sliced it open on a knife while emptying out the dish drainer to start a new load of dishes.

I have quite a few, but it's nothing compared to the emotional scars that one carries with them for the rest of their lives...

I couldn't agree more. Emotional scar hurts even more than open wound.

I only have two..but just last month I borrowed a male persian cat and omg I have two scratches on my right thigh...for a month I didn't wear short shorts because of that..now that it's so HOT...I don't get shy if people will stare at my right leg.

Oh they won't get shy getting a good look at your right leg. How's the scar on your throat by the way?

Nope, I got no. But I get easily black and blue. Whenever part of my body run into some hard item, like the angles of desks, it will turn blue. And I got a lot of that, lol. It hurts at the begining if you press it, but I have no feeling of it after a day or two. But sometimes if the bruise is red and blue and also some black, looking very scary like I've really been bused by some hot tempered husband, hahaha, and it will take days to disappear. Actually it doesn't hurt that much as it looks like.
