Scars with historyYou've all got scars: they're nature's little reminders not to be so damned stupid next time. My favourite is the 1/4" round hole in the back of my right hand, created when I was 7 by my best friend putting a manure-covered gardening fork "away".
Tell us the stories behind your scars. With photos if possible.

Tit scarAbout 7 years ago, I found a lump in my right tit. Being the sensible type, I went to the doctor the next day and said "I have a lump". Doctor took a look at boob, realised the lump was bigger than the night before and covered in red veins and promptly gave me antibiotics to stave off the infection.
Antibiotics didn't work. A week later, I can't wear a bra, I have a 3rd tit growing and I'm in PAIN! So off I go to casualty thinking they'll just drain it.
Oh no, I had to have emergency surgery - it was apparently one of the biggest abcesses they'd seen. I now have a nice smile shaped 1" long by 1/2" wide scar right next to my nipple.
The best bit was the nurse coming to my house to measure the open wound (to let the infection drain) and sticking a metal spike directly into it. At that point, husband fainted :D
