It's not really weird, but I have a scar down my whole back and a few next to it from my spine surgery (scoliosis.)
I didn't put any creams on it or try to minimize it, because it reminds me of the hell I had to go through, all that pain, and experience.

I have a long, pale scar on my arm that's from when I rescued a momma cat and her two kittens that an a**e dropped in the middle of my grandmother's woods. Long story short, as I was leading them out of the forest with a bag of cat food, I tripped and tore a gigantic cut in my upper arm. Momma cat and her kittens are safe now; I actually adopted one of the kits.

I have a scar on my chin (hidden under my beard now) from getting hit in the face with a spinning trolling motor on a boat.
I was laying on the front of the boat leaning over to unhook it and I leaned on the pedal for the motor. The motor was out of the water, spun up, and smacked me in the chin. Had to think for a bit to realize what punched me in the face.

Mine is on my left index finger. It was after a Super Bowl so I wasn't exactly sober. For some unknown reason I decided to cut off the little things that were the back of my kitty litter scooper. To this day not sure why I thought that would be an improvement. Used a Ginsu knife, and it slipped. I didn't think of getting medical attention until waking up the next day and it was still bleeding a bit. Too late for stiches, so a butterfly bandage and now a scar.
The scars that mean the most are from my cancer surgery 5 and a half years ago.

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!!

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 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 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 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.

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 nickel-sized scar with an X in the middle (I named it Ethel) on my leg. Ethel used to be a cyst, but then I nicked it shaving, it got infected, became a boil about twice the size of the original cyst, then had to be lanced by my great-grandparents' doctor while I was visiting them for Thanksgiving (he also tried to remove the cyst but didn't quite get all of it, so Ethel now perpetually looks kinda swollen). The highlight of that adventure was having to make stops on the 14-hour drive home to change the padding in the hole in my leg.

I have a small oval shaped scar on my left wrist from getting burned by peanut butter. I was taking peanut butter bread out of the oven (I was 16 when this happened btw) and I accidentally touched my wrist against the peanut butter. It burned and hurt really bad, but I just stood there, with a blank look on my face. My mom, who was standing there the whole time, grabbed my hand and shoved it into the sink, and ran my wrist under cold water.
I also have a 2 inch long scar on my leg that looks like a long finger. A very heavy log ( the log was 7 ft long I think) fell on my leg and bounced off. I'm lucky it didn't do any other damage. I got away with a very bloody scrape and lots of pain.

I have an S shaped scar on my heel from stepping on a fishhook when I was 12. It ripped through my foot from my heel to the arch, and left sand and gravel in the cut. It also caused me to fall over from the pain, hit my head on a boulder (and subsequently get a concussion), sprain my wrist trying to keep myself from falling, almost break my nose, and I ended up in the ER being checked for tetanus (luckily I didn't have it). They ended up having to sit there with tweezers picking out the tiny pieces of gravel that were embedded in it, while I sat there sobbing.

Right above my right eyebrow, it’s a thin dent and the actual scar isn’t really visible. I have other little dents on my head you can feel just not see because of my hair.
I was 4, in bed with my parents. Fell off and onto the dog (Scout, Labrador Retriever) who panicked and bit me. He was such a good dog, he died 9 years later after trying to attack someone by creating a gaping hole through a chain metal fence, destroying a glass door to try and attack them. He ended up being put down, I still have his collar.
(I can’t remember correctly but I believe he had a tumor that affected him greatly. He attacked me again when I was 6. And we gave him to my grandma, after 6 years of owning this senior dog came the event that resulted in him being put down.)

Not an actual scar but the way I got it was strange and memorable. In High School (1972?) I had a small motorcycle that often would not kick start, so I got in the habit to bump start it (run along it, jump on it while releasing the clutch, I know, I am old).
This one morning I bump started this bike and somehow the throttle got stuck. Since I started in 2nd gear, the stuck throttle mant it went pretty fast with me hanging for dear life, until I hit the parking lot retaining wall.
I hit the handlebar with such force I was sure I broke a few bones, but I didn't.
I did have a large bruise on the front of my thigh, but I didn't think much about it.
A few weeks later, I discovered that I had absolutely no feelings in that spot, well after the bruise disappeared.
Now, about 50 years later, I still have no feeling there. There is a small depression in that place (which I could call a scar?) and I can poke it with needles or fire but I feel no pain there. In fact, if I touch it it feels like I am touching someone else's body, not mine.
Considering I raced motorcycles for some years and had more than my share of ugly tumbles, I feel like I got off light. Never a broken bone.

Scar that extends from the bottom of my left thumb, to just over halfway up my forearm. It’s from hand surgery in 2017 to remove a growth from inside my hand. I have a skin graft at the base of my thumb and a long scar from where they took it. I was one of 40 adult cases in Australia of having what’s called an arterio-veinous malformation removed at the time. Most often it’s only found in children and usually in the brain or neck. So not only was I an uncommon case, I had one of Australia’s top plastic surgeons operate on me. My daughter calls it my battle scar :)

I have a scar under my nose basically the same size and shape as Hitlers moustache. I also have 3 or 4 parallel lines running left to right on my chin. Got knocked off a bike and my hands got caught in the handlebars, so I landed on my face.
The odd bit is: When I was getting sewn up at hospital the doctor was really pissed with me-she literally said "This is my first day off in weeks, I was at a BBQ and here you are"
When I told her I could feel the stitches going in (the injections hurt like hell) she shrugged and said-"hey there''s only a couple to go" and kept going.

My weirdest one is probably a scar from my cat back in my childhood days: I had been playing with those large colourful plug-in beads for toddlers. I had given one of the beads to our cat (the beads were big, no choking hazard for the cat), but he kept accidentally pushing them under furniture and then would come beg me for a new one. I always gave him one, but then I had no beads left and told him I needed all the remaining beads for my picture. In my ~3-5 yo mind, it made perfect sense to me to explain this to our cat. What still doesn’t make sense to my adult brain till this day, however, is that in response, my cat gave me a death stare, calmy walked over, bit me and walked away.

Faint scar on left ear from falling and nearly taking the tip off on a badly designed swing set (it had round, sharp, metal feet). Faint scar on wrist from accidentally dripping acid on it in chemistry class. Scar on knee from falling off playground equipment. Various scars on hands from slicing myself open by accident, worst was the time the knife slipped and stabbed down to the bone (knives and I don't get on).
Most scars stick around due to keloid scarring for me so I wear my collection with pride and they help me tell right from left.

The classic scar on the knee.
It’s actually 3 small scars that I got at once, in lines.
I was rollerblading outside one day, no kneepads. My siblings decided to go downhill, and I wasn’t sure at first but I went anyways.
I started going, and going… and going…
I couldn’t stop, so I tried to hold on to my dad, but he was also on rollerblades.
My mom ran to push me into the grass before I would crash into the lake and drown, but my brother pushed me into the cement instead.
Long story short, lots of blood, crying, and layers and layers and layers of skin pulled off and left on the side of the sidewalk.

I wouldn’t say the weirdest but for the longest time I had a scar on my inner bend of my arm (or for lack of better words, inner elbow). I got it in 8th grade when our shop class was doing a stint on working with metal. We all got the chance to earn extra credit by staying after school and helping melt down/pour the metal into the molds that has been made and although it was the late 80s, I’m going to assume I had to still get my mom to sign a form but I won’t swear to it. Anyways, I helped the teacher load the cauldron up with scrap metal and then he turned the heat on to get things melting. Then he had me put on some protective gloves and an apron. After making sure I was all set, he told me to keep an eye on things while he was in the teaching area (same room but around a corner) and to call out to him if I needed anything or when things really started melting.
Now normally this wouldn’t’ve been a problem and technically it wasn’t, but I am and always have been a daydreamer and this was no exception. While staring off into space and waiting for things to melt my mind drifted off for minutes at a time until I was thrown quickly back into reality when the Stirring pole shifted, hit my inner elbow, left a mark, and scared the crap out of me. I quickly pulled the sleeve off my shirt down (was wearing short-sleeves at the time) and called the teacher to let him know that the metal was ready.
To this day I don’t know how I got away with it because it was the worst burn I have ever received and because I kept pulling my sleeve down. 😂😂
Although I’m sure the teacher did have his suspicions he definitely didn’t every day anything.
*I didn’t say anything to the teacher because it was one of my favorite classes and I didn’t want to be denied the chance to have extra project time Should it come up again.

I have a pair of scars just below my left knee. They are parallel to each other but swoop off in different directions. I got them when I was 8 years old and was playing tag in the back yard of a neighbors house. I ran through a gate that was falling off the fence in their back yard and got scraped by two nails that were jutting out.
A couple of years later, I got another scar on my back when I was helping my father take down the second story deck off the back of the house. I was holding the metal ladder while he was unbolting two of the three beams that supported the deck. When they came apart, the ladder got pushed back, my father fell on top of me and the 4x12 beam missed me by 2 inches. I know this because the nails that were sticking out of the beam scraped my back as it went whizzing by. I was luck to just get scraped up. My mother did not think so and banished me from further carpentry duties.

I have a thick, long scar that's thin-skinned and smoother on my hip from a bad fall from my bike. It had rained that day and I was leaving a community centre to go home. The rear tired slid out too far as I was turning onto the road and I ended up sliding on the pavement. I got scrapped up on my legs, hip, elbow and the back of my hand. I have scars there, too, but my hip had it the worst. There's not much feeling in that spot. I can pinch the skin with my nails and not feel anything.

I have a small scar on my left mid side. My mother drugged me because I was “too uptight” and then told me about it while I was high and she had gotten me into a hot tub. I was 14 and moved in with my dad that night. This 2 inch scar came when she grabbed me to keep me from leaving the hot tub filled with her creepy friends to walk the 3 blocks to the phone booth (1985) and call my dad. I made the best decision of my life at 14. I would not be who I am now without that change. I would not have been who I fought against so hard for decades without her.

Both of my interesting scars were acquired on Nauru, where I was born. The first looks like a massive burn on the back of my left thigh. I was born with a strawberry mark on the back of my leg, and as a baby I was outside on grass mats, which irritated the birthmark to such a degree that meat ants were attracted to it. It became severely infected to such an extent that I was hospitalised, and there was concern that I would need amputation(which didn’t happen, thankfully). Also, when I was was a toddler I fell over the rail on the back step, onto a large, sharp clam shell (which was a garden ornament). More blood and pain ensued, and now I have a large ragged scar running along the back of my left forearm. My body tells stories, I guess. :-)

Have a small white scar on the bridge of my nose. When my friend and I were little girls we had a tea party, and it was tons of fun... until her brother took the tea pot away from her and gave it to me. She picked up the serving tray and threw it at me. Next thing I knew I was in the hospital getting stitches. And this was back before cell phones, so an usher with a flashlight had to go into the movie theater where my parents were on a date and tell them I'd been injured. Weirdly enough we stayed friends for years after that, and only split up when I spent her birthday party reading in a corner. My glasses cover the scar now, and I hardly ever think of it.

A very long time ago when I was about 5yo I wanted to help my dad in the kitchen. He was making chips using this very old school press thing where you put a potato in and it gets squished into chips. I put my tiny hand right in front of his and he didn’t notice. So when he pushed the lever down hard (it took quite some force to squish the potato through), the tip of my thumb almost got cut off. The whole neighbourhood could hear me scream, there was blood everywhere. It left me with a pretty cool looking old school scar, a line with dots next to it, like you would draw it. He feels guilty about it till this day.

I have a scar on the bottom of my foot from stopping on a nail. I got it when me and other kids we’re screwing around (mid 80s) and we were all told where exactly to stand with our noses against the fence or the house. Now me being the smart ass that I am I kept pointing to an area going “Here?” and getting pointed to a specific area with the response of, “No, here!” After a few times of this back and forth the adult comes offer, touches the fence, and says stick your nose right here. And knowing that my smart-assed-ness needs to stop, I step to where she is pointing and I ended up stepping (there was tall grass) right on a rusty-ass nail. 😱

I have a very faint scar on my forearm. It's about 4 inches long and very thin. My long haired cat had fleas. She was a very sweet passive cat I could do anything with her. A long time ago we were told to use Sevin dust to kill fleas on our dog. I tried the Sevin dust on her. It didn't take long before her eyes started to ping pong in their sockets and she started to stumble. I snatched her up, stuck her in a tub and scrubbed all the Sevin dust off her skin. She wasn't a bath fan at any time, she became a bit savage and her back foot caught my arm. It was never a huge cut more like a scratch yet it remains a reminder some 30 plus years later. FYI she was fine (I took her to the vet right away and they didn't need to do anything) she remained easy going and never scratched me again, even if I may have deserved it.

I have many scars with many different reasons.
-Below my lower lip I have a scar because my sister dropped me on a metal grate at her school when I was two. I don't remember but my mom said it was pretty horrifying and I needed stitches.
- I have a circular branded scar that looks like somebody took a cigarette on my arm but it's actually from when the bushes in front of my house caught fire and I rushed to put it out. The ashes melted my skin.
- My galbladder was removed, and the scars kind of look like stab wounds except the one under my belly button. The stitches popped on that one and after hours in the ER they decided not to stitch it again because the wound looked clean (I could look into the wound, deeply but okay) and now the scar left is like a second belly button.
- I have a circular moon on my forehead from when I bumped my head against iron knobs on monkey bars/jungle gym when I was like 8. It's right at the spot where Indians would put their marks/stickers so it's very visible. I think it's pretty cool looking. I remember when it happened that my head hurt but nothing alarming until everybody around me was getting upset and I felt something wet trickle down my face. It wasn't until my fingers came away red that I started crying.

I’ve got a couple scars and pretty much all of them are for dumb reasons. First scar I ever remembered getting, I was using a hot glue gun and it got jammed, so I kept pushing and eventually a huge drop of super hot glue fell on my leg. Now normally, the glue front he gun I was using isn’t hot enough to burn if I touch it, it just hurts a bit, so I just wait for it to dry and then peel it off. I waited a couple seconds and then wiped off this glue when I couldn’t take it anymore, had a burn scar there for years. It’s mostly gone away now though. Next dumb thing I did, I saw a video of someone carving the tips of colored pencils into sculptures, said “I can do that”, tried it late at night when I was tired, box cutter (because I didn’t have many Berger knives at that point) went straight into my bent left pointer finger. You know how when you bend your pointer finger, a little bit sticks up at the bottom knuckle? I pretty much cut that whole thing off, except that the flap was still attached. So now I have a flap of skin shaped scar. And then the most recent, which surprisingly wasn’t entirely my fault, is three scars on my left palm and wrist from a cat. I was holding her like a baby, upside down, which she isn’t a huge fan of but doesn’t usually mind too much, and then the dog looked at her wrong. She doesn’t like the dog. So now I have battle scars.

Maybe not really weird but we still laugh at how I got it. I have a small scar on my forehead. When I was little (6 or 8 maybe) whe went sleighing. We had this old wooden sleigh with a seat. We where to big for it and my father tried to take it off but the screws where very rusted and it wouldn't come off. So, I went on sleighing with it and my father with my little sister went on another sleigh behind me. We bump in together and I fell of the sleigh and the seat broke off and a point of the seat went straight to my head. My dad felt super bad ofcourse but they also laught because somehow I just always broke stuff. Like trying to hold a door and going straight trough the glass and stuff and falling of a bunk bed.
I also have an x scar, but I don't know how I got it.

I have a jagged, white scar on my inner thigh. I was a chronic school skipper and was running through the woods to avoid detection. As I was singing 'She's Like the Wind', from the movie Dirty Dancing, I tripped on a fallen pine tree. I ended up straddling it and ripped my super-cool, punk rock leggings. Thank the gods that my self-serenaded sprint had put me so far ahead that I could jump up and pretend it hadn't happened. The black of the leggings camouflaged the blood and the location hid my sub par sewing skills. I don't know what hurt more that day - the wound or the irony.

Not weird but sad.
I have a one inch scar on my knee from a brand new bread knife. When we were kids, my older brothers would beat me up, bully me, invade my privacy daily. One Saturday morning, while my mom was at work and dad asleep, my brothers started up again. I decided to stand up to them by grabbing the biggest knife I could find, ran after one of my brothers but he grabbed my wrist, twisted and I dropped the knife. We wrestled a bit until my other brother screamed that I was bleeding. The knife just bounced off my knee, severed the nerve so I never felt it happen. Dad wakes up, smacks the crap out of the boys and we are off to ER.
Dad told me not to say what happened, at the time I didn’t understand why.
I was 9. Fun times.
