Hey @svosse... I couldn't miss #20...
My weirdest scar... Ugh - there's so many, it's hard to say what the weirdest one is... I guess I would have to say my worst, and definitely my most memorable scar, is located on my right leg. I got it when I was in my twenties, basically by being a dumbass.
Picture me riding my motorcycle north on Interstate 75 (Alligator Alley) in south Florida. This is a perfectly straight 100 mile stretch of highway that is not only famous for the scenery through the Everglades, but also famous as the perfect road for hauling ass on your bike.
There's only one turn in the entire 100 mile stretch, and I was unfortunate enough (or dumb enough) to be going way too fast, and not paying attention (showing off) at that particular area. I realized what was about to happen way too late, and the only thing I could do was try to lean into the turn as much as possible before hitting the shoulder.
As soon as my tires hit the edge of the pavement, it was like my bike just disappeared from underneath me - I tumbled and rolled for what seemed like forever, before finally coming to a stop by sliding into the game barrier (fence).
I initially didn't think I was all that hurt so I tried to peel myself off the ground and attempted to stand up. At first, I had no pain at all, so I instinctively tried to roll over and get up. Right then, at that exact moment, as I tried to push myself up, I had agonizing pain shoot through my entire body.
I looked toward my feet and saw that my right foot was pointing in the wrong direction, and I literally watched as my leathers filled with blood - in the end I had two compound fractures on my right leg, my right shoulder was dislocated, and I had three broken ribs. I was told by the doctors - had I not been wearing riding leathers, I likely would have lost my leg just below the knee.
The scars are a reminder of my stupidity but looking back at it, I probably wouldn't change a thing if I could...
Geez, that sounds scary. I only had one lesson riding a motorbike and crashed into a parked truck. That was enough for me :)
My worst scar was from a slip n’ slide, there was a rock under one, you can guess what happened lol
Front or back?
The weirdest scar I have is a brand on arm that looks like the letter j. Me and my friend branded each other in 10th grade chemistry class with a Bronson burner and a thick wire...boy we were geniuses lol
Lol sounds like a very smart thing to do indeed
I'm not sure what you mean by "new". I've been on Steemit since September, 2017, but I'm still a minnow.
In my late 40s, I came down with a very painful case of Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus (caused by the chickenpox pox virus, which stays in your body forever, waiting for your immune system to weaken). I told my friends that I could now try out for a part as a Klingon on Star Trek.
Joking aside, this virus left scars and a purple splotch on my forehead which took almost twenty years to fade away (minor traces are still visible).
I'm not sure what you mean by "new". I've been on Steemit since September, 2017, but I'm still a minnow. I write about linguistics, the Chinese language (Mandarin), futurism, and food. I also do book reviews.
With 'new' I mean new to the lottery :) Thank you for joining and good luck today! I'm glad the scars did fade away in the end. It's horrible disease...
I don't have many scars, fortunately. The weirdest one I have is one in the left side of my right knee. It's like 2.5cm long and 1cm wide in the center, because I didn't get stitches and it didn't heal properly, and it kind of looks like an eye.
And I got it doing stupid shit as a kid: I climbed a street light and on my way down afterwards I got cut by a metal thingy holding a paper bin that wasn't properly cut and folded after they installed it (I know this probably sounds weird and maybe you don't understand what I mean, but I really don't know how to explain it better ^^")
I think I kind of get it :) The metal thingy attached the paper bin to the street light?
Exactly, yes! Seems like my explanation made some sense after all XD
I have a nice scar on my left knee from walking on a railroad bridge. Sure enough, I was messing around too much and one of my legs fell through leaving a giant gash on my knee. Just to let you know, I have been back on that bridge many times since the incident lol.
Good for you! Don't let the bridge beat you :)
Hello all
introduce my name razaq barry according to my identification the steemit @ razaqbarry, i from indonesia, is almost 20 years old.
talking about the weird scars that had been experienced, at the age of 6 I was a naughty boy, often got injured in the body, but there are one scars that strange I think, when I was sitting at a table accidentally my knees scratched the knee, not too sick, but the blood that came out very unnatural for a scratch of the scars, was repeatedly removed, still do not want, until finally should be clumped and bandaged, I think it's strange, just because of scratches, but the blood is very much ,
so much from me, thank you for reading
Thank you for writing :)
So I slid on the ground with jeans and it was like a burn scar. It took like 2 years to go away
Must've been a long slide...
Hola soy Nueva en esta lotería, soy de un hermoso país llamado Venezuela. Realmente si hablamos de cicatrices me cuesta decir cual es la mas extrañas, pues lamentablemente tengo muchas, pero podria decir que las que marcaron gran parte de mi infancia, fueron las de mi mano derecha, ya que fui sometida a quemaduras con láser para eliminar un caso de verrugas múltiples que tenían en casi todos mis dedos. Realmente era muy incomodo, nunca faltaba quien me preguntara ¿que te paso en la mano?. Gracias a Dios el tiempo ha hecho efecto y hoy en dia a mis 31 años las mismas son muy poco visibles.
I'm sorry, I don't speak spanish
Google translate helped though :) Thank you for sharing your story. However, this lottery was closed already. You can participate in the next one here:

boils, because until now the scar is still there until now and that's what makes me not confident to wear shorts
That's too bad. I hope you don't live in a hot country then...
