DC both have two scars each that I think they will have forever (little dents on their foreheads). They get less and less obvious every year, but I don't think that they will ever disappear

They will probably have faded by the time he is old enough to notice/care x

I have a few on my collarbone from when I had it about 29 years ago but unless you know where they are you really have to look for them ifyswim.
