Over the past few months I've been noticing an increase in scars...
I've always scarred easily but it was usually just on my legs. I scar from every little thing - bug bites, and any kind of scrape. It sucks, but I'm use to my legs looking like it was hit by shrapnel. I know it will fade in time.
But the thing is, lately I've been getting scars on my face and my hands too. Every pimple I get lingers into a scar...I don't get pimples that often so I'm not horribly concerned - but its my face! Not only that but I have to use an oven mitt to play with my kitten or the little tiny scratches it makes turn into scars! Its ridiculous.
My skin isn't dry, or anything like that. This doesn't make sense. I've searched google, ask.com, and wikipedia but to no avail. Nothing would explain why I scar so easily.
Anyone know something I don't?

I have exactly the same problem! I've been searching at google for a year, and I never found the same problem! It was always about acne scars and scars of a car accident... But mine are every month worse and worse!
I have a very beautifull skin, I really have. I really find myself pretty enough, but I have big complexes of my scars, and that is very frustrating because I know no one else who has the same problem. My skin is also very brown in summer, but in the same way that is very irritating because my scars become almost black then (and they stay forever). (I just read, the browner your skin, the easilier you scar, so we all fit then!)
It's like it started when I got my period for the first time. That's strange. 'Of course I already got scars!)I went to gymnastics and I fell with my legg on the beam. It was a big scratch, but it wasn't bleeding at all. It went a scar and I was very surprised. A month later I had a scratch by shaving on my other legg. It went a scar as well and I was suprised again. I was quite panicked because my bothe legs looked ruined. Then I investigated my feed. I noticed lots of keloid scars of little blisterings I had two months ago (before the beam accident) These didn't matter thath much, because the scars were little... Two years later I haven't had any new scar, and the shaving scare was almost gone, the other one never did, but I was quite happy again. I was sixteen years old then.
But since I'm sixteen and a half or seventeen, I become new scars every month. Not only on my legs, but everywhere. They also never disappear. Most of them are quite little, because I became very prudent. Other are bigger. Accidents just happen, you can't prevent them all. Every brown crust, even the tiniest one, not bigger then a point of a needle, will be scar. And, it's true... I also have the feeling to break down in tears when I get a new scratch. Two weeks ago I got one on my legg. it begins at my knee, and stops at my foot... I can see the white skin already... People think I'm not resisted against pain, but I know better.
My friends say I have changed.
I don't like playing in the woods anymore. I can't talk about it because people don't know what to answer. Sometimes they answer: "They will disappear..." But they never do... They are just happy that they don't have the same problem. Especially the girls...
They say you can make disappear scars, are make them look better with laser. But the problem is:
*Do I have to do ALl MY BODY then? That is so expansive.
*Why would I do that, I become new scars every month!
*Will the laser effect cause little wounds that will be new scars again?
P.S.: I know my English is not correct. If anyone wants to chat, it would be nice. It would make me feel less lonely with my problem :)
I also have this question: What does your parents say about this? Mine say I overreact and that nobody sees them, maybe only when they want to see them or if they know that they are there... except the ones on my face. I hate it because firstly I hadn't problems with a scar on my nose, because I can't remember my life before I had it, I only got it by an accident when I was 3.
