I once burned my arm with a hot plate. I was heating up a frozen dinner and I stuck it on a metal tray. I waited for quite awhile. When it was done, I put on a oven mitten and took it out. It was around that point that the boiling hot tray touched my arm and it stayed there. I didn't keep it there for masochistic reasons, but because I was neither aware of it and nor could I feel it! It stayed there for a few minutes until I was able to feel it. When I did the pain consumed me like a forest fire and I hastily "threw" the damn tray on top of the oven. I was cursing and in tears as I stuck my arm under the facet. About 1hr or so later, it had formed a "scab" of burnt skin. I was scared to death of people seeing it and questioning me about it and during that week it got to the point where I could no longer bare to look at it. So, one day I picked of a bit off it and then the next I took the rest off. It was pink and for many months it was a brown line. Now the mark is still there, but it has become barely noticeable.
i want to hear a scar story
