i have many self-harm scars on my wrists, upper arms and upper thighs. they're pretty obviously self harm scars and are quite noticable in brighter light. i also have scars from picking at acne on my shoulders and back.
i have one scar with an interesting story i guess. it's a very gnarly, ragged scar that runs from my left eye down my left cheek. basically, when i was born, i had what's called a sebaceous nevus. it's a cluster of lesions that some babies are born with. i had to have them removed via surgery when i was a year old because there was a slight chance they could become cancerous once i hit puberty. when the doctor removed them, he fucked up the stitching and as a result i now have permanent scarring there. you can actually see the individual stitches if you look close enough. i don't really mind my scar. i think it looks cool. my mom wanted me to get plastic surgery to remove it because she thought it looked ugly but i refused. i get comments about it sometimes, mainly from kids (i like to tell them i got attacked by a tiger or some shit it makes them excited lmao). it's just something i've always had ever since i was a baby so it's just part of me. i can show pictures of it if anyone's interested.
