A scar is a permanent patch of skin that grows over a wound. It forms when your body heals itself after a cut, scrape, burn or sore. You can also get scars from surgery that cuts through the skin, from infections like chickenpox, or skin conditions like acne. Scars are often thicker, as well as pinker, redder or shinier, than the rest of your skin.

How your scar looks depends on

How big and deep your wound is
Where it is
How long it takes to heal
Your age
Your inherited tendency to scar

Scars usually fade over time but never go away completely. If the way a scar looks bothers you, various treatments might minimize it. These include surgical revision, dermabrasion, laser treatments, injections, chemical peels and creams.

Open Question: Life Insurance Eligibility? (Mon, 13 Feb 2012 02:56:40 GMT)
I'm a just-turning-42 year old healthy asthmatic never-smoker male who is switching life insurance policies. To make a long story short, when I applied for my new policy in late 2011 the companies would not give me a quote because I had an outstanding Cat Scan (that was ordered for no bleeping reason by a specialist)...so I got the Cat Scan to appease the LI companies in October and found that I have a small blip on the Cat Scan that proves absolutely nothing positive or negative...so my Prim

Resolved Question: Is fatty hilum in a lymph node on a CT scan always indicative of a benign node? (Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:40:10 GMT)
I am a 34 year-old woman in good health that has had a lump under my jaw for many years. I'm thinking at least 10 years. I asked my primary doctor about it a few years ago, and he seemed to think it was scar tissue from an infected lymph node that I had when I was a child. For some reason, I decided to get a second opinion just now about the lump. I went to an ENT who ordered a CT of the neck with and without contrast. The CT results were normal except for submental lymph node 1.2x2.4cm i

About 3 years ago I was working outside in the yard and contracted some sort of poison plant. Something like poison ivy or oak. At first it wasn't that bad, but soon it spread all over my body. From my eyes to my feet. My gentiles were also affected. Well a few days ago I had an accident and a large bulge on my gentiles snapped.

Voting Question: Why does my dog suddenly have black spots on her skin? (Fri, 03 Feb 2012 04:19:40 GMT)
Hi, I adopted a 10 pound dog about 5 months ago. She was a mother in a puppy mill so I don't have much history on her. I believe she is a border/cairn terrier with possible a bit of chihuahua. The vet estimates her to be about 3-5 years old. She has been in great health! About two weeks ago I noticed two black areas on her sides. There was no hair loss associated with the skin color change. I took her to the vet, she shaved the areas to get a better look. Upon examination we found a total of

Resolved Question: How to determine how bad a scar will be? (Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:35:26 GMT)
So i have been in a bit of a rut lately. I work online and it's been slow. 100% sales based. Being alone 24/7 has started to affect my mental health in a negative way. The other night i got drunk and played Skyrim and after 6 hours i just felt brainless and numb. In retrospect it almost felt like an automatic reaction when i picked up a knife and started cutting my left forearm. Ive never done this before but I got a nice sensation from the rush and now im stuck with some nasty looking scars

Voting Question: What is the easiest video game you have ever played? The hardest? (Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:53:21 GMT)
The easiest game that I have ever played is Fable II. You literally cannot die in this game. Instead, you are merely knocked out and wake up with a scar. That's it. It makes the game boring after a while. The hardest game I have ever played is F-Zero GX. The story mode requires extreme precision, and if you screw up once or twice, even if they are minor mistakes, you will fail the mission. Everything has to be perfect. As for the Grand Prix mode, some of the tracks are extremely narrow and ha

The first night we met, and the night before I asked her out she slept with two different guys. She's had a tough time in the past and I believe her when she says all the casual sex she had in the past was meaningless and quite unpleasant.
