Hey,

I have a nose scar, I have tried to find different treatments but no one can offer me any treatment as they said it isn't suitable for the treatments. So now I have to learn to live with it, which is hard, it happened a few years ago. I always get so self concious when I am talking to people. The scar is more visible in certain angles and lighting so I am always wondering what it is looking like when I am talking to someone and what angle it is in. Ugh it makes me feel so depressed sometimes and so self concious

Hey Skye768! Welcome to the Changing Faces community and thanks for sharing about your scar. I'm sure other people here can identify with the feelings you have expressed. Some people say being left without options can be the hardest part. Do you think being told that there are no suitable treatments and thereby leaving you without options makes it harder?

Erm I guess it might make it harder. Because I know this is the scar I am left with now rather than one that might get better. I'm always comparing myself to a scarless nose and spend so long in the mirror just feeling worse but can't stop examining it

hi. same, i had a big scar on cheek which was caused by a doctor. i totally understand how you feel. I got self conscious too, always wondering does people notice it when i walk pass them. i fall into everyday depression because of it too. sigh. Its totally normal to feel what you are feeling now. I thought i was not normal when i get so depressed and sucidal because of it. But after reading posts about people who have scars too, its totally normal we all feel depressed and self confidence drop to none.

I just wish mine wasn't on my nose cos it's right in the middle of my face, I think I would prefer it if it was in my cheek or something. I literally think about it from the moment I wake up. I'm so upset and worried it will just destroy my life, I miss not having to worry about something like this

same. i miss the normal life i had before i had scars on face. I rather its on my forehead or sideburn at least i can use hair to cover it. yes it destroy life, from someone with a normal life to someone who isolate myself. im feeling what you feeling.
