I recently saw a gentleman whose upper body had been pretty severely damaged in a childhood accident. His chest and his arms and back were scarred, and there were deep striations where his skin had thinned and healed.  

...but on the face, hands, and feet can make a person very self conscious.

Yes, scars that are clearly visible when dressed, can be a source of discomfort for a lot of people.  

Because of an hereditary condition called Dupytren's contracture  my hands and fingers have been carved, stitched, amputated, skin from my butt grafted. All this in an attempt to correct genes found to have existed in my Nordic ancestry.

and I have found this to be true, to some extent anyways.

I have some scars from burns I received in an occupational accident about 36 years ago.  They are mostly not noticeable until the summer when I get a tan, then they tend to stand out a bit.  I have one on my abdomen and the other is on my arm.

I have met several women with either scars or deformities, and I have a certain fetish for them, so they are no problem for me.

That photo of the woman with the skin condition is most intriguing.  Is that the actual look of her or has she compensated by turning her body into a canvass.  It reminds me of marble cake, and looks very sexy.  I was thinking some kinky sci-fi film could use her.

I have a few scars from an accident and only one provider has ever asked about them. It touched me in a way I didn't expect. It somehow (to me at least) made us more intimate, the idea that she saw me as a person and cared enough to ask.  To me they are like unintentional tattoos, they tell a story about a incident that was life changing so to have someone ask about them was very special indeed

I think that scars add something very special to a person's life story.

Noticed your scars as I Was preoccupied elsewhere.  I have several scars on my body plus a birthmark and not one provider has ever made a comment. I Do not find them offensive but have never encountered a provider with numerous scars.

As a kid I was very self-conscious about it, because we all know how lovely kids can be to each other.    With the passing of age, one is almost invisible,  one is barely visible and the two big ones are still there, just lines going through my cheek.   I cannot imagine my face without them.    

My 2 best girlfriends each have a noticeable scar somewhere on their body. I was very intrigued by their stories which are much more interesting than my recent (and fairly well hidden) tattoo.
 I think it makes them unique and quite fascinating!

I'm sure I enjoyed whatever you were doing that kept you too busy to notice my scars

I have some disability...  more noticeable than my scars...  I've seen ladies with scars...  some obiviously surgury.  One I hadn't noticed her scars pointed abdominal  scars out to me...  I hadn't noticed in several years...  she said people thought they were stretch marks but said she'd never been pregnant...  that they were from a cooking accident when she was a child.  

I'm a natural guy and love the uniqueness.  He'll I've had brain surgery for a tumor and have a big scar.  I'm bald so people can see the scar.  Strangely I like when people ask about mine but feel uncomfortable asking others about theirs.

I don't have any scars but I have issues with my legs (in process of tests being done to find out what is really going on, which is not a pleasant subject with me right now) and lack of cartilage in my knees. On good days, I walk almost normal and on bad days I have a noticeable limp. It is not noticeable at all unless I am walking. In pain all of the time, but it is odd how your body gets use to it. It only bothers me when it is really hurting. It does not stop me from going about life or enjoying life by any means.

are those left by breast implants.  I can't help but see these scars as a form of self-mutilation that makes me feel a little sad.  

I got it from a broken femur playing football in college.  I would not wish that pain on my worst enemy.  I recall at least one or two ladies asking me about it during an appointment, but I can't remember exactly who.  I forget that it's there until someone asks about it.  

It's about 6 inches long going by the side of my groin. I was very self conscious about it at first, but then it became a "Ah poor baby" moment, so I milk it for all it's worth. I also have an entry wound from a 22 on my right leg. It's a small hole and draw alittle attention.

past life lol. I was a bit adventurous haha. But I personally think they are hot if I see them on a guy. Certainly not a flaw and I would hope they would never feel uncomfortable, guy or girl. No biggie, no matter how big or small they are if you ask me.  

I think I may have noticed the scar on your leg the first time we met, I don't recall whether or not I asked you about it.

otherwise she would look like a cow. But she looks fine.
I got small scars that go unnoticed.
Let's see how this pic posts. It's a large jpg
