Just what I need at the end of the year. A BIG CRATER IN MY FACE!

This all started yesterday in Science class.

I was working on the review questions assigned to us by the teacher when all of the sudden my friend next to me grabbed my pencil pouch. I tried to get it back from her (like I always do because this happens daily) by taking her precious dog pen. She reached for it as I also happened to turn my head and she scratched my face.

It started to bleed and the teacher said I could go to the nurse while my friend was apologizing like crazy. I couldn't help but think everyone was staring.

I went to the nurse and got my cut cleaned up. I didn't want a bandage on my face because it would make it more noticeable to everyone. The nurse said that I should look at it in the mirror. So I went to the bathroom to check it out. I though it was just a scratch in a straight line but to my surprise A PIECE OF MY FACE ACTUALLY CHIPPED OFF!!! the area was small enough to fit under a normal sized band aid but it was highly noticeable.

This is the worst part. MY SCARS NEVER HEAL COMPLETELY! They do scab over relatively fast if the area isn't too large and the scar does close but it takes years for scars on my body to even look close to my skin and when it finally heals it looks like a really ugly birthmark. I don't know what's wrong with my skin that it's so delicate that it would peel off because of a little scratch. I scratch my face all of the time and nothing like that ever happens.

I'm putting aloe verra on my skin because that is what always healed my scars well when my family owned an aloe verra plant. The plant wont grow since we moved so we bought 100% pure aloe verra in a bottle.

Does anyone know what's causing this?

 

Ouch

That really sucks, though if it's at the end of the year, it shouldn't be so bad, you would just be hanging with your friends so as long as they aren't mean you hsould be okay! xD

I do suggest you go to the doctor if you don't know what is wrong with your skin... it doesn't seem normal. You may have a skin condition ( though I doubt it's cancer ) that may need medication to help with... it's always best to be safe.​

 

That sounds mighty painful. I agree that you should go to the doctor. I have a skin condition too. My face breaks out because my body is actually creating too many hormones. So I need to take medication for it and I need to work off the hormones. Definitely go to the doctor so they can get a bearing on what's going on and can help you and probably explain what is REALLY going on with your skin.

 

Go to a dermatologist. I had the same problem, and went there, even though I went there for something to make my skin less oily. He gave me these pills and now my cuts and stuff start to heal within a matter of minutes. O.o Weird. I forget what the medicine is called, but they'd probably give you something similar.

'Sides, who doesn't like drugs? XD jkjk​

 

Some scars remain for along time, it just is what it is. I suggest if it is bugging you so badly, that you find a dermatologist and figure out what may have caused the incident in the first place, and what you can do to decrease the scar and such.

 

Agreeing with everyone above, you should go to the doctor. But if your scars are staying, then that means they're really good scars, but if it's not healing, then you should probably get that checked too. Anyway, go to the doctor and get checked out, good luck.

 

My scars heal and scab over and everything but the problem is that the skin always heals darker under the scab which is why I try to do everything in my power not to get a scar on my face.

I have a theory that the only thing that can really heal my skin is aloe vera from the plant. When I used to live in CA I would get a lot of cuts from playing outside with my sisters (skating, razor scooters, biking) so my mom would cut off the tip of the aloe vera plant and put it on the cut and it healed almost completely.

Now that we moved to VA it got eaten by bugs when we left it outside and we never got a new one. So that left my scars to only heal with neosporn which didn't help very much.

Since I've been putting on aloe vera it's been healing faster. I'm not sure what my skin is going to look like when the scab comes off though.
