Got any interesting scars????

[flamesparrow]

Bein nosey... have you got any interesting scars?

Mine is a nice boring one where my belly button piercing went nasty and I took it out.

Have you seen the dove advert with the woman with the star shaped scar? It looks much prettier than most

[fastasleep]

My bellybutton scar is bigger and better than yours

[flamesparrow]

LOL

Thought I should move to another thread before we get told off on the glasses one

[JoolsToo]

not a one!

[fastasleep]

My son's got a big kidney op scar, we've already started inventing the cool stories! Lol....talking of son's mine's after his breakfast...sigh

[WigWamBam]

I have:

one where a breast lump was taken out;
one shaped like a W on my thumb where it was almost severed when I was 5;
one between my thumb and index finger where I stabbed myself with a can opener trying to put some holes in a jar to put butterflies in when I was about 6;
small scars on my knees from knee surgery;
my caesarean scar.

My mum has a big scar on her arm when she fell into a fire when she was little; she also has a tracheotomy scar from when she had diphtheria as a child.

I've had four knee surgeries - two on each leg. Have a beautiful one on my right knee from anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

[JoolsToo]

[JoolsToo]

[megandsoph]

just a war wound on me knee from my army days... whilst on exersise had to wade up to our shoulders in sewage then wash off in a stream with a dead animal at the bottom of it. Then one of my instructors dragged me up a gravle hill and cut my knee so it got badly infected...
but I wear it with pride

[Titania]

i have a lovely one that runs from the top of my hip down to my knee on my right leg....but im not telling you how i got it!!!!

[flamesparrow]

Owwwwwwwwwwwww!

[dyzzidi]

I have 5 overlapping scars on and above my bellybutton looks a bit like a star. also have two penny shaped ones on right hand side of body 45 degrees of belly button and a scar like a caesarian scar but a couple of inches longer!

Damn Gynae surgeries any more and i will look like a map of britains motorways

[Titania]

not really flamesparrow.....i just scar far too easily! lol

[flamesparrow]

Posts crossed Titania - it was the gravel one that was a big owwww, although yours sounds painful too!!!

I did have a scarred nipple for ages, but it seems to have finally disappeared now... handy hint - never put a freshly filled Zippo lighter into your bra....

[Titania]

oops sorry fs

EEK!! that sounds painful!!!!

[triceratops]

I have a w shaped one on my hand where I was bitten by a seagull who wanted my picnic. And I have a birthmark shaped like a pig on my arm. Ds has a birthmark on his chin and neck which makes strangers do a double take and kids want to put a plaster on him.

[HappyDaddy]

I don't have any scars but my collarbone healed at an angle, after I broke it when I was 13.

[marthamoo]

I have one on the back of my leg - from my heel to midway up my calf (27 stitches) - from surgery to lengthen my Achilles tendon when I was 5 (mild Spina Bifida).

I have a line down the middle of my eyebrow from walking into the bathroom door handle while telling my Mum how fantastic Star Wars had been at the cinema (1977, so I was 7)

I have a faint line under my bottom lip where I tripped up, aged about 12 months, and put my one and only tooth through my lip.

I have a bumpy scar (4 stitches) just below my hairline where my brother was chasing me round the garden and I tripped over the swing and onto the low wall round the flowerbed.

And I had a lot of stitches somewhere else after having ds2 but I won't go into that...

[marthamoo]

Ds1, not ds2 (like to be accurate!) Ds2 just kind of fell out

[JoolsToo]

bloody hell - you're a clumy bugger aren't you

I don't believe the eyebrow one - just admit its a fashion statement!

[JoolsToo]

clumsy even

[nailpolish]

when i was little my brother pushed me onto a plug (of a hairdryer) that was lying on the floor, the plug was plunged into my knee and i now have 3 round scars on my knee like a plug, where the holes were!

[JanH]

Nice one on neck that looks as if I might have been knifed - wasn't though (surgery)

Teethmarks on cheekbone from getting too close to a nasty Scottie aged 4.

Several at bottom of R leg from tripping over broken barbed wire fence while scampering on S Downs (aged 19!!!).

C section.

Small one where small lump was removed from L breast.

Large V-shaped one from lumps and lymph gland removal on R breast.

They have all faded to white now though.

[DillyDally]

I have two tiny ones
One on an ankle from a shell going into my foot and the other from being dropped on a barb wire fence when i was little. Well not dropped so much maybe mishandled.

[flamesparrow]

There are oodles of interesting ones
