I actually kinda like scars. Sometimes I get a really bad wound and it makes me feel a little better to just think about how rad the scar is gonna look. It's like a little story of your life imprinted on you, and it's just mindblowing to me how those few seconds that an accident happens in can change the way you look for years. You can learn a lot about people from their scars.
Yeah when I blacked out on my bike I fell pretty badly My lip was cut about 2 cm up and above that my skin is just REALLY messed up The scar is about 2.5cm squared and Looks awful..
I think it depends on how deep the wound is. The more layers of skin tissue that is broken through the more apparent the scar is. I don't know, just my take from the video.
It's a mystery to me like how my shoulder got smashed with a brick and blood's been spilling out though it got fully healed within around 2 years with no gaps and almost no mark
As a plastic surgeon, one of the most frustrating issues is the difficulty in predicting how someone will scar. I can literally do the same procedure on 10 people in a week, exactly the same way, and see 4 or 5 categories of scar quality. The patients who make great scars think I'm the best surgeon in the world, those who scar less well - no so much.
+Flower and Butter I read this weird but awesome fanfiction on Wattpad in which the characters of Harry Potter met their actors. Harry's fake name was Henry Porter.
I have a scar on my forehead and corner of my eye from a getting knocked off my bike unconscious from a car when I was a kid. Growing up I always felt insecure about these scars until but now it doesn't bother me, I started cherishing them. I also have a scar on my stomach from I was a baby, I had Pyloric Stenosis it left a small line on the right side of my stomach. Sometimes it's hard to work out because the muscle is cut through but I work it out, these bring a lot of memories :)
Dani I got a scar on my head after jumping on a bed. I jumped too high and hit my head on a dresser. I then had to go get stitches. And it happened when I was only 3. Good job me.
I have a scar on the tip of my left index finger because earlier this year, in early October, I dropped a glass salad bowl onto a countertop and it shattered. A shard of glass cut into my finger and a few mm of skin came off, but not fully so there was a flap of skin dangling of my finger (sorry for the disgusting details). I grabbed tissues, wrapped them all around my hand and went to the hospital. Everyone was staring at me because I literally wore my school uniform, flip flops and a bloody tissue. The doctor had to move the flap of my skin because it had slightly rotated (which hurt like hell). She told me that my skin had to reattach itself (which is actually really disgusting). She put a big bandage on my finger so it literally looked like a cast for a broken finger. I could feel the blood coming out and drying inside my bandage all day. At school everyone was like "What did you do to your finger?!!!" and I told them that I cut myself with salad. I couldn't wash my left hand for the next three days. My finger print only came back after a month. I'm so talented. I could write novels with my experiences lol
Regarding the last sentence, I had a total knee replacement, which was unavoidable :) This is another entertaining and informative Ted Ed gem. I only wish I had seen it sooner. It helps me visualize what is going on inside my knee, and why I need to do my exercises and massage it regularly to break up the adhesions.
I have many scars. Most are from self harming the same spot over and over before it healed when I was much younger but others are injuries. Many more are psychological
@@Cozysafeyay it depends on how deep they are but i still have the same ones but like if they weren’t as deep they would be gone probs bc it’s been a year
Cheyenne Mariee they would probably destroy the access cologne and normalize the ECM lining and fiber glass cells will be given proteins to code to remake the skin layer instead of a scar layer (however the immune system will still be there for any mishaps such a bacteria or a virus)
Why does it say scars are unwanted? I have a lot of scars and I love them all because they remind me of good times and bad times, and fun and sadness, and that I am strong and brave. I love every one of my scars❤️
I got a scar from falling off my bike and at first I felt really self conscious about it, but then after a few months of healing, actually looked cool and I liked it. But because life hates my happiness, as soon as I started to like it, it went away and now I’m just left with an ever so slightly lighter color in the area.
I have a HUGE scar that stretches from the back of my ear to the back of my head. I earned that sucker in two different head surgeries because my veins made too much of one cell, and it caused a big clot thingy. Started chewing away the skull apparently. Could've died. Being born with something like that is apparently so rare, that most doctors don't even know what that is! :D
I have a scar. its from my stitches. That's my favorite scar. Stitches hurt at first,but they numb you so you can't feel it that much. If your about to get them, they hurt for 30 seconds, but after the they feel better than any other part of your body. So don't be scared, because it dosent hurt for long. :)
I got 2 scars under my left eye, I was bit by a dog in the face as a child, but I can't imagine myself any different without my scars, they make me who I am.
People keep commenting on how much they love their/others scars, or how they grew to love them. Its different for me. I hate them. They're hideous and constantly remind me that I'm weak and how it's my fault they exist in the first place. I grew up bullied for a big scar on my forehead, and I hate it to this day. I may never appreciate them ever but I'm glad so many of you found peace with them. Your the type of people we need
I have a really bad scar that I got while in the pool. I basically got scared by a wasp and quickly backed up onto a drain, essentially cheese grading off a centimeter of my heel. I could barley feel with it for a long time after it had scarred over; it’s almost as if it scraped off some nerves or something.
I have: 3 acne scars (from acne), 2 scars on my left leg(from falling into sharp knifes), 1 scar on my right leg(being tripped up) l, a scar on my foot (falling into glass), a scar on my arm (picking at a scab), a scar on my forehead (when I passed out and hit the pavement and nearly got brain damage but I survived normally)
I had a gigantic scrape on the whole of my calf when i was younger, and it took about 2 weeks to heal, but i never got a scar from it. I had many injuries on my toes, knees, elbows, and hips but i never have any scars as a result? can someone tell me why??
i have a scar on my knee from a bike fall, its always kinda puffed out, but really sensitive to pain. whenever it gets banged into something, it sends shooting pain. really annoying, like getting kicked in the balls.
+Liam Vance i have on my knee too...its like 3 months now and if i touch it with my fingers it desnt hurt..even if i press hard on it,but if i touch something like an edge of my table,it hurts like hell.even worse than a kick to balls
I have a scar over my right eyebrow and it was bad i was bleeding so much and a day later i bumped in to a door and it was bleeding again and now i have a white scar...
Everyone who is scared and a fan of Scar for lion king: Have I ever told you how I hot my scar? Everyone else: No, no you haven't. Scared: I wasn't much older than Kion when it happened, back when I was leader of my lion guard. When I was the Lion Guard's fiercest I took most patrols on my own So when I met this strange lion I had no fear of being alone He said he had wisdom and power And the most powerful should be king With help from me and my roar He and I could rule everything I found his idea intriguing Though the most powerful lion was me But the strange lion was scheming And had a friend I didn't see That's how I got my scar When I led the Guard The lion would cure the snake's venom As long as I did what he said But I lost control and enraged I roared and destroyed them instead I expected to be praised near and far For stopping that treacherous thing But Mufasa just nicknamed me 'Scar' Then I knew that he shouldn't be king That's when I became Scar When I led the Guard My first plot for vengeance Was spoiled when I lost the Roar My second plan later succeeded Mufasa was king no more If it weren't for that miserable Simba I'd have ruled Pride Rock to this day But now, it is time For Simba and Kion to pay That's why I still am scarred From when I led the Guard Oh-oh That's why I still am Scar And why I'll destroy the Guard!
this one time in 2nd grade i was racing with the boys in my class and i tripped and scarred both of my knees and people said "it'll go away in a few months" and yet here i am 7 years later still complaining about them. Also I'm alergic to bug bites and the bites always scar so im covered head to toe in bug bite scars and to make matters worse, my mothers family has some sort of genetic that causes scars to take longer to heal. Great.
I have a scar on my right index finger from a burn I got when I was about 9 years old. I was always a curious child, and I decided to play with fire and plastic one day and some of the molten plastic splashed onto my hand. I turned the whole thing into an experiment of sorts. I figured that it was a second-degree burn, and I wanted to see how long it would take to heal. The wound didn't completely close for about 4 months, and the scar it left has been very slowly fading ever since, but it's still visible even 16 years later.
What's different about animals with regeneration like newts and salamander that do NOT form scars when the skin is injured? Also, the liver wasn't mentioned when can regenerate.
i love my scars so i wanta them i thinks it shows life the more scars the more thing you have done and when u see them they can bring back good memories
I was reading a journal where they found 3 or 4 genes that can be activated to make fibroblasts change back into cardiac muscle using the same process that makes stem cells differentiate.
I got two bad injuries on my body and they were bleeding but now they're healing so does that mean I'm gonna get an awesome scar on my elbow and kneecap?
I've fallen on my elbows 3 times and each time I've taken chunks out of it. 1st time- I fell in my driveway on my face and stuck out my elbows to block the fall. 2nd time- I was ripsticking to the store and I skated around some dumpsters, when I ran over a rock. I fell. Next to the dumpster, onto a pile of rocks. I was about 1/3 of the way there and I needed the item that was there, so I kept going, (I was walking now.) I could not find what I needed and was DRIPPING blood from my elbows in the store, while I had on a white shirt. I had to ask an employee where it was and when I got it I went up to pay. The lady in front of me was at least 40 years older than me, and she didn't bring money with her. Of course she didn't have a credit card either. And she just got a new CHEAKING ACCOUNT. So when she tried to enter a cheak it didn't go through. So I had to wait another 5 to 10 min for her to walk to her car to get some. While bleeding on the floor and counter. 😐
Watching this only because I had an accident and got a nasty cut in my face. It was so deep that it literally pierced through the skin:/ I hope it doesn't leave too much of a scar..
i have scars on both my shoulders a few places around my body from multiple motorcycle accidents, it looked like i had tattoos removed especially my shoulders.
I have a scar from when I was a toddler on my right hand.it was a stitched cut from when I ran and fell with a bottle,and the bottle broke.blood was everywhere and my mom told me that she almost fainted when she saw it.I just realized a few weeks ago that I could see the mark the stiches left.Crazy.
I got one in 1st grade, it was after winter break, the janitor waxed the floor, we were playing revenge the ball landed in a corner me and this other girl Sydney Webber, and I slid to reach it, I missed and hid my had against a concrete wall, Sydney didn't even care, all she said was " I still get the ball right?" at 4:30 i was in the hospital at 10:00 I left with a concussion for 6 weeks, they said no brain activity like school work. So now I gave this now 7 YEAR bump on my head, which got me bullied by this girl who called me "Harry Potter" but the only good parts out of this was no school and I got a Hershey bar after the hospital.
I like the scars on my skin. It's funny to tell people I tripped in gym class in 5th grade to get a scar on my hand or how I fell in a gravel pit at camp (twice) or fell off the sidewalk.
"But at least some of our scars can help us remember to avoid the sorts of things that causes them". My scar: caused by my sister. Lesson learned: never fight with my sister
when i was kid i had alot of injures on my hand because i keep digging my wound deeper and it kept getting bigger , now i am left with many small and big round scars :( its ugly and can i atleast fix it to normal skin tones ??? pls help me
Factoid wow my wound arent that big and i dont like tatoo , my wound are 1cm diameter and there is alot like 5~ but the wound healed and look ugly and doesnt blend with outher skin tones
sWifteruniTe The only noninvasive thing I can think of is make-up. Sorry. I kinda wanna say you shouldn't have dug you wounds if you didn't want that, but that would be a little poor in taste.
I've got 2 main scars: One from direct hot glue got burning on my arm (and I mean direct, the tip pressed on my arm...ohh memories,..) And one from my cat scratching me + my horrible ways to react... AHH THE MEMORIES RUSH BACK
Laser treatment can be used, it ''breaks'' the skin so the natural healing process is restarted. It restores collagen, pigment and the skin will be ''resurfaced'' .. im currently being treated for differend scars on my body, but with acne scars it works just the same :)
Nina cziechy well I got the best and natural way..change your dient no junk foods daily exercise plenty of water and always make your face clear using facewash and moisturise it and always take cold shower...that worked on me
If you already have the best, natural way, why even ask for a solution? I have a very healthy diet and it never made a change on my scars personally. Also, i have seen vegans and ''extreme healthy'' people with acne and acne scars. I'm glad it works for you but i don't believe in a ''best'' way. But do whatever works for you, i' m glad you found something that helps for you and i was just trying to help ^^
scars do heal.well, maybe not all the way but its true, i had before a badass scar on my leg that made me look like i fought a tiger but really my cat scratched me, it still there but i have to look at it harder and longer just to see it
People are like saying their stories of scars like they got only one scars. I actually counted my scars on my left hand which ended up with 30 scars. Tiny but really visible. The only DIFFERENT scar I have that is really different from the rest is when I burned myself mith an Iron. It just looks like I got taned in that one specific place.
