Experiences with

Scars

My scars from the laparoscopy are healing fine but during the surgery they had to reopen about 3/4s of my c-section scar. It is absolute agony still. I'm in so much pain and feel so rubbish and weak. I can barely walk it's so painful and I'm largely stuck in bed because it's so sore.

Not sure how that causes scars. But these scars are from an x ray I had in January when the hospital said it was ok but my dr today looked again and noticed the scars. So have to have another x ray this week and she’s going to speak with a consultant as to what happens next.

Everyone a lesson !

I’m in the process of healing and have terrible facial scars but luckily healing well. I am seeing a consultant about Camoflage makeup but was told I would have to pay for this on my “prescription” soo I assume it comes under the nhs. I’m kinda confused.

I know this quote relates to figurative scars but I couldn’t help but think of all of us who have had ablations (I’ve had 4) and think of the literal scars our hearts bear. ❤️❤️❤️

Hello, I had an op last year and have a couple of scars on my stomach. I am now 15 weeks pregnant and starting to stretch and I am a bit worried about the scars stretching too much.

Hi guys, a year ago i overused a chemical peel product. after that the applied areas are burnt. the scars are still very visible until today.

I suffer with this & blister in the sun, see a dermatologist & they supply steroid cream have to be careful with that as it’s burnt my skin & I have scars from that

I've had a high and loose circumcision 1 year ago with really bad esthetical result (struggled with lymphoedema for about 5-6 months, but the main problem is that the stitches were way to tight and I've remained with some nasty scars).

I have deep scars covering my thighs, forearms & stomach - as always, approaching summer is a challenge. A constant battle between wanting to be unafraid of stares or just covering up and sweating, suffering.

I don't see scars. I see an archive of riveting stories of a life lived to the fullest.

Follow up - should I delete my old selfies of me before I had scars? Sometimes I do go back and look at them and it makes me happy at first but then I get super depressed because I know I'll never look like that again.

Hello, i am looking for some advice please if anyone has any experience of what I'm about to write. I had shingles last year from late March to mid April above my right eyebrow. I occasionally experience tingling/burning in the area of skin where the rash was due to nerve damage/nerves still healing.

My skin never stops itching to the point it bleeds and leaves a lot of scars. Has anyone else had this? Thanks.

Why does self harm scars feel so weird?

Any recommendations for what to put on scars after laparoscopy? 💫

I've had a TURP and a following stricture Op as a result. Now my flow is good. But some time after the stricture Op I started getting painful ejaculations (not I have had a vasectomy 40 yrs ago). Now there is no discharge of semen at all and even though I have or had reverse ejaculation it now does not

The swelling haven't gone down much but the scars have dried out. Did anyone go through the same experience or do I need to consult a doctor?

Hey guys, I had a laparoscopy a month ago which diagnosed endometriosis however they didn’t remove any. I had an abdominal infection the week post op and was in so much pain I ended up back in hospital but now I’m a month post op, my belly button wound has been receiving medical attention every few
