Hey Pandas, What Is The Weirdest Scar You Have And How Did You Get It? (Closed)

I have a perfect triangle brand on my lower arm. I accidentally leaned it on the very not engine of a lawn mower. It hurt… bad… for a split second and then………..NOTHING!!! Third degree burn with perfect defined edges about 1mm deep. Burned the nerve endings to a crisp so after a half a second I didn’t feel a thing. It’s doesn’t tan obviously but what’s really nifty is it doesn’t bruise!! I had a massive bruise in that area and my perfect triangle what white in a sea of purple. Very cool!!

3" X 2" scar on my elbow and a matching 2" X 2" on my knee (left side on both). Wiped out on a dirt bike with landed on me and dragged me down a gravel road. Street tires are crap on fresh gravel. I never made it to work that day.

Right palm and wrist have several small and long scars in a circular pattern. A cat at the Humane Society had a major issue with other cats and was stupidly placed in the 'big room' on my day off. Our big room had cages that faced in along three walls while the small room had one row so cats could not see each other. I opened his (Merlin was his name, a lynx pointed cutie) latched on to my hand and jumped down while gripping me. Boss asked if I thought he should be put down. I'm glad to say that lil man was adopted :)

Many many more.

I have more random scars than I can count, but my top 3 would be: #1. matching 1" barbell shaped lines on top of my forearms from allowing myself to be "practice" for surface piercings while in college...(2005ish) #2. A mangled 1" diameter scar on my knee after being kicked by a horse and then dragged thru gravel a few years ago. #3. Tie! Two separate Starbucks scars from back when I worked there after college (2008ish)- first is a straight 1" line across my knee from a box cutter cutting thru the cardboard, my pants and of course, me! And second is a 1/2" scar between my knuckles on my left hand when I stupidly punched a metal shelf instead of the large bag of beans next to it, after a particularly disrespectful customer. Don't get angry and try to punch things with your non-dominant hand if you're not a boxer 😂

I have a very, very small one on my thumb that's shaped like a lightning bolt. No idea where I got it. I also have one on the back of each hand that's in the *exact center* of my wrist.

I was born for this thread- One time I sat on a seat on one of those drop rides but idk if I was just blind or stupid but it had caution tape over it and idk why I didn’t see it, but it wasn’t until the ride ended that I realized my leg was bleeding. I went to a port-o-potty to try and see how bad it was but it was dark so I never saw the damage. I just know I’ve still got a puncture scar over the back of my thigh. And then last year I found out I was allergic to paint and it left my skin covered in these circle looking scars, so my thighs and upper forearms are covered in polka dots lol.

I have a very small scar on the bridge of my nose, apparently, as a kid, I was bit by a dog but I don't remember any of it.

I have some. Maybe the weirdest is one on my left hand where a kid bit me when I was four. Still see in the flesh between thumb and hand upper and lower teeth marks of a 4 year old.

A good one I got 4 months ago stepping on shoelace loop at top of stairs carrying 100 lbs of salt. Shattered left elbow and a 12 inch scar to replace elbow joint and install a metal plate.

i have one on my earlobe from a cat when i was like 6. i can't see, but my mom can, and it always throws her off because it goes right through my ear piercing. (i actually got my ears pierced around two years after this happened.) i also have two on my elbow from a bouncy house.

I have a burn scar on my arm from when my hubby was straightening my hair with a clothes iron. He proposed to me a few hours later at a romantic dinner we had planned.

A small triangle on my right palm. I got it from practicing coreography for a show. When the part came where you drop and catch your self with your hands, I did. I instantly recoiled, I felt like I got an electric shock! Turns out there was some very small shards of broken glass on the ground. The scar is mostly only visible if I point it out, as it is quite pale.

I have a scar in the exact shape of a T on my wedding ring finger. Was trying to cut an apple with some new knives, ended up chopping the corner of my finger off. They sewed it back on and you can't really tell unless i point it our because it's sorta on the side of my finger.

I was six, flying a kite, and the string wrapped around my ankle . I still have it.

A talon slash scar on my wrist from extracting a five foot long pet iguana from some curtains he decided to climb.

I have a 1 1/2” scar from when I was four on my right hand at the bottom of my pinkie room getting my hand stuck in a running treadmill. I had to friends over and apparently we thought it would be a good idea for all of us to use the treadmill at the same time. My mom probably thought we
meant that we were going to take turns. One of my friends had the key you wear that stop the treadmill if you fall so when I feel it didn’t stop.

Warning: includes self harm

I have a pretty nasty scar on my neck that looks like a vampire bite from me burning myself with metal and a lighter.

A Harry Potter scar on my forehead…no idea how I got it…

I have a lot of scars from sports accidents, but the biggest and most prominent one (which many people think was caused by a car crash) is clearly visible on my face: it starts at the top of my head and runs down my forehead, passes between the eyes, nose, left cheek and ends at chin, about 10 inches long. But it was not caused by any accident, but by cancer caused by solar radiation (I live in Brazil and had never used sunscreen). I've had three corrective surgeries (including a new nose made with parts of the right ear and skin graft) and my beard helps to hide it, although I'm not ashamed to show it off.

(Trigger warning)! (#2)

I have two significant ones:

#1. A long, purple scar on my forearm that I got in a car wreck. Kinda looks like a weird lightning strike?

!!
#2 And then I have one on my lower stomach where I uh. I tried to use a knife, but it didn’t work very well (thankfully). I’m all good now!!!

I have an exclamation mark on my forehead.

When I was about 18 months old (or so I'm told) I walked into a sliding door and cut my head vertically, requiring 3 stitches. Then, at about age 5 or 6, I put my forehead on the floor and spun around in circles - giving myself a round carpet burn directly (and coincidentally) underneath the line. As a result, over 30 years later, I still have "!" just above my right eyebrow

I have a raised scar on my ankle from when I was 3 and tripped over a chicken, landing on a hoe laying nearby.
