I got my first scar when is was five or six. I tripped on a low wire in the mean old lady's yard and landed on a coffee can with my cheekbone. 65 Years. ago, they didn't bother with stitches. After all that time, the scar is barely noticeable now. The same is true for all my old scars. The one on my back from my melanoma surgery is very visible but I can't see it and no one else sees it.
