Explain your scars

Do you fall asleep on glaciers or something? How do you get so much frostbite?

I have small scars on my hands due to martial art practice and fighting.
I have one on the left corner of the forehead because I failed to jump over a moving fence. I have one tiny near the right tample and one on my right knee due to a fall from a bike when I was 8. I have stretch marks on my knees and hip because I grow up too fast. I have another tiny one on the forehead, almost invisible now, from when I was a kid because I fell in school. I have one on my left thumb because I was sliced open by a shower head (not joking). I have a long one on my right elbow because I was operated twice.
I may have more but that's all I kind think of right now.

Scar over my left eye from boxing

Crooked nose from boxing

Bump on my right hand I think from hitting a punching bag for so long

Weird scar from getting burnt with a freezing tube at work

Track mark scars on my left arm from drugs.

Scar on my lip

Scar on my ankle from surgery to repair break

I have a small one on the back of my left hand from being an idiot in 5-6th grade and doing the "eraser challenge" (I think it was called that) where you get a pencil and rub the eraser on your skin for as long as you can, as fast as you can.

Another one on my knee from trying to race a car (on feet) when I was 5.

And a few tiny ones from my chickens being assholes when I was 19 (a few months ago)

Age 18 months had an operation re-attaching my Ureter to the bladder (apparently)

On my left leg I have a circle scar when I fell through a glass table when I was around 8 yrs old

And my 2 favourites; I scratched myself on the face and I scratched my chicken pox on my face as well (both apparently)

Other small scars on hands and various places

By apparently I mean as I dont remember them, I was told

One on my left knee.
As a kid of about 9 I switched bedrooms for the spare room with the double bed. I loved bouncing on it.

One day I did that and a bedspring poked out through the mattress and sheet as I landed on my knees, and went deep into my left knee. I cried and panicked, exclaiming that it was really deep and hurt, and would leave a scar there forever. My mum told me to stop fussing and said I was overreacting because I wanted attention. She said, 'It's only a scratch, it'll be gone in a few weeks'.

Well, I turn 30 next month and the scar is still there. And it's of little consolation to me now to be able to prove her wrong after 20 years with this ugly white scar.

I use to cut myself.

I mean, i got some scars on my wrists from biting them. I got a scar on my left knee from when i was 3 or so because another kid had stabbed me with a metal shovel. Random cat scratches turned to scars on my arms. A tiny circular scar on my right thumb from when i was picking at the skin with my nails. On my left leg from climbing a limestone wall and scraping my leg on it. On my right leg i got a scar from when i was attacked by a branch. And finally, i got scars on the top of my head from some wires needed to be inserted. Let's just say that i got lost before i was born.
But honestly, any injury i get turns into scars now. Sadly.

On going cat scratches from age 11 to present cause my family is full of cat lovers.

Scar on foot from stepping on a glass cup and having it shatter when I was 12 or so.

Yeah, nothing major.

Jesus Christ, so much damage... damn... You live on the North pole, or something?

I mean, I'm sorry for everything that has happened, but damn...

I only have one scar It's from where I got really drunk on my high school prom and picked a fight with a guy. He nailed a good one on me and I have a very small scar on my lower jaw. Not noticeable, unless you look for the scar. He got a much more noticeable scar from me on his cheek in return. It's one of those moments I wish I could go back in time and punch myself for being an idiot. But what's done is done...

I have one on top of my right eyebrow from hitting my head open and the wound ripping apart again cuz my mother somehow had to take me on a bike in winter and slip

There are three on my lower belly from getting my appendix removed

Self harm stuff

A lot of scratches from my cat
Especially this big one on my arm where he scratched me, couldn’t get out and basically hung around in my flesh haha

And a few I can’t remember

Things I did as a kid always healed, so only 4 scars stayed from then actually, I also have stretch marks but I don’t think those count
Also something that probably doesn’t count, but I have extreme muscle tension since I was like ten and it was that bad that when growing 4 of my fingers got kinda messed up and are now crooked. I consider that one of my internal scars, but u can see it kinda on the outside, soooo

Surgery scars mostly various ages, chicken pox age 12 burns on left leg from coffee kettle's handle breaking and spilling on my leg age 8

I have one on my penis from the operation I had to reduce it to 9 inches. It's right at the base though, so I'm not too worried about it.

I got one under my thumb from accidentally breaking a glass cup coz it had frozen water in it, I got scars appearing strangely out of nowhere on the back of thighs and hips, Im pretty sure they're from stretch marks, I got this scar on the left of my fore arm the shape of a half moon ever since I was a toddler I have been calling it my moon. I have another one on my thumb from a game called chicken I played in primary with a chick who tested to see how much of a chicken I was, the rest are all on my wrists from suicide.

One about an inch or so long on my calf from where my grandmother accidentally stabbed me with scissors when I was 8ish. Three stitches. It's the most visible. I don't think it was well done.

Three tiny incisions on my side and belly, plus one through belly button from surgery three (I think...) years ago.

One smack in the middle between my eyes from a particularly pustulant chicken pox blister. One on the side of my face, too, that's only really visible when my face goes red.

A few random scratches. I can't think of any others.

I have a bunch of self harm scars on my ankles/ lower legs... I also have a nice scar on my right knee from surgery I had when I got hit by a car.

I used to have a scar on my right knee from chicken pox as a child: just checked and it's totally vanished and I hadn't even noticed!

I have a very faint scar on my right forefinger from slicing a bread roll with a bread knife when I was a child.

The most dramatic is my 47 year old emergency caesarean scar from my daughter's birth: the obstetrician was in a hurry because she was dying. It was the old style surgery from the navel down, it's not even straight and the stitch marks are still visible. Worth it though: my daughter survived and has three children, all delivered by modern style caeserean section, which leaves a much more discreet scar.

My ankle skin is especially messed up because I was walking through woods with thorny vines. It turned into eczema and left discoloration.

I burned myself on the oven rack on the same spot on my arm while cooking on two separate Christmases.

Most of the scars on my arms are from getting sliced on wire.

I was also given a very un-sexy peck on the mouth by a chicken, and it was swollen for days. I thought it would scar, but fortunately it didn't.

You got your foot amputated at 11, but ran through brambles at 20. Do you wear a prosthetic?

One very large, asymmetric scar under my jaw. It has caused social problems all my life. It can't be fixed.

From navy bootcamp.

Scar on my right thumb... impact trama from being hit with a rescue poll from a lifeguard who saw I violated a guide buoy and yelled at me but there were a hundred others in the pool so the only way to get my attention was to slam a 20ft pole in front of me. Which the tip has hit me square on the thumb right under the joint. Fractured it and caused an impact scar

None

I don't really have any lol.

I have some acne scars on my face. The scars have faded somewhat over the years, but those scars are the reason for my love of department store skincare, and cosmetics! Acne can be extremely disfiguring, it leaves emotional scars that can't be seen, nor removed with the help of cosmetic procedures like microdermabrasion, or laser resurfacing.

I have always wanted to have some work done, but I can't afford it. The funny thing is that I have been consistently told that I look younger than my age, so I guess that's a good thing. I'm probably more aware of my scars than other people.

Oh, the physical ones? Good, that's a shorter list. ;)

I split my head open on a wooden toybox when I was a toddler, so I'm off-brand Harry Potter now. I also have a permanent cat scratch scar on my hand from rehabbing a litter of kittens a relative found under their porch. They're little assholes by human standards but pretty decent by cat standards. Little brother is currently napping on my feet.

Rather not.

The post is literally called "Explain your scars". GTFO MATE
