There's no way you can get your skin completely back to normal (permanance is what makes a scar a scar) so you might as well have a proper scar and save the cost of trying to hide it.
I've got a scar on my left arm the exact size and shape of a cross-section of a canine tooth. Which isn't surprising, seeing as I got bitten by a guy who couldn't fight fair.

Lol well thankfully my partner of 4 years and father to my 2 children would never do anything like this, as he had to put up with the ex giving me trouble and stuff.Hashime said:
It didn't bother me at first because I just used to think well... it reminds me that I'm still here and that I survived the years of torment he put me through but now it's just starting to make me feel really ugly.
It's not your average scar, it's not just a line on me, it's actually about a centimetre wide, 2 inches long and it's raised from the skin. It looks hideous.

I used this stuff for a year afterwards and it didn't seem to do anything, I also tried it on my stretch marks after my first daughter as all my friends swore by it but it didn't work on those either, the bastards.
GBH was the very least my ex eventually got sent to prison for, trying to stab me wasn't the worst thing he did unfortunately.EmileeElectro said:Sorry to hear that.
Surely an operation would be free on the NHS? You should have got your ex done for GBH too.
I don't know anything about them. You might need a skin graft or something.
As for me, no scars. There's some marks on my back from where my mum dropped the iron on me when I was younger though.
I have enquired about it to my doctor but he was maddeningly unhelpful and basically implied I should just fucking live with it rather than waste the NHS's time.
don't bother removing scars, you don't make the same mistake if you have something there to remind you of it and just be comfortable with them, no one else cares...
i have matching scars on my right elbow and knee from falling off a longboard at 30 outside a hospital
there's another above my top lip from falling off one of those weird little scooter things and tearing off half my face
there's a burn on my right thumb from where some plastic melted off a garden fire on to me
theres a bite mark from a rodent on my left forefinger
one at the bottom of my right palm from being hit with a drum stool (that went to the bone.)
there's one on the topside of my left wrist from when i ran over my own hand on a longboard.
i have 5 parrel scars on the left side of my lower back of unknown origin (but they're really nice ones anyway)
there's plently more but they're of unknown origin and are also boring.

I love my scars. They all tell such interesting stories! I have one in the middle of my forehead from when my cousin's friend pushed me and I hit my head in one of those giant indoor playsets kids love to go to. I bled everywhere. A short while later the place went out of business, and I'd like to think I helped contribute. My left eyebrow is split in half from when I hit my face on a heat radiator the first time I walked. I have numerous small scars on my forearms from times my sister attacked me with her fingernails (seriously). Those are just a few of my many scar stories.
The NHS can be absolutely useless sometimes. They confused my uncles cancer for bronchiolitis twice, and I've heard so many stories of them wrongly diagnosing people.Nanaki316 said:
I'm so glad you find a nice man
People like you don't deserve what he did to you and he can't take your happiness away. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
I think from what she's saying is she has one of those scars that looks like a worm under your skin though...Hashime said:
I've got several small dents in my forehead. I collect sidearms, and when I was showing them to a former friend, he figured that they were all unloaded, grabbed one, and shot me. To note, the only one's that I keep loaded stay in a locked cabinet. I am forever grateful however that he grabbed my 2 mm Kolibri. Granted, it's old and jams half the time, so I don't feel so grateful that it didn't that time, but at least I'm alive.
I quite like scars; I'm rather fond of my own, and they can certainly look alluring on other people. Then again, do as you see fit.
As for my own scars:
I have one of my foot that taught me that fire is hot as a kid.
One on my shin which taught me that metal can be damn sharp.
And one on my wrist which taught be that only braking the frontal tire of the bike when going full speed down a hill is a rather bad idea.

I've got two on my forehead from "blading" (self-mutilation done to produce blood during a wrestling match...would've just been one but the first wasn't producing enough blood so I did a second), one between my knuckles from a metal piece of an apartment mailbox that caught my hand while I was moving in, multiple ones on my forearms from hot pans covered in potatoes or rolls, and one on my palm from catching a steak knife on the wrong end. I think that's all of them but I may be wrong...I don't know how to get rid of them. I'd guess Cocoa Butter since it supposedly works on stretch marks.
Scars should be worn with pride. They are a testament to the fact that you've lived, and that you've seen more than butterflies and sunshine. A lot of people find scars attractive because they are evidence of an active person, and of someone who truly invests themselves in their lives. I've a few good scars (all of them well earned, let me tell you), and never would I even consider trying to dispose of them in some way. They're a means of remembering where you came from, or, at least, that's my belief. What doesn't kill you, eh?
I've a massive one on my hip from a minor brawl a few months ago, a few on my hands from childhood bush whacking, quite a few on my few because, apparently, in my youth, I didn't like to wear shoes all that much, and my entire left knee is scar tissue due to a bicycling mishap when I was 12. I love 'em all, though.

If it affects you that badly then request to see a different GP or make a private appointment with a hospital dermatologist. The NHS will pay for surgery if it's affecting your quality of life (even psychologically).Nanaki316 said:
The only procedures I've heard of are Mircodermabrasion (basically sandpapering the scar) or cutting the scar tissue out and suturing it to create a neater and probably less pronounced scar. You'll probably never get rid of it entirely but they can make it less noticeable and, as I said, neater.
I was looking into having a scar on my chest removed, it was the result of blood play gone wrong and is very noticeable, red and raised, across the left side of my chest. It doesn't bother me that much, it just annoys me that people stare at it sometimes.
