Hi everyone, I'm a new member - not sure if I should start a new thread on this, or if it is ok to continue this old thread but…
This post just prompted me to recall a memory from 20 years ago when I was about 10 years old. I happened to notice a scar on the inside of my calf
muscle. I remember thinking immediately that it was a spider bite (or a snake bite - I was only young after all, so the thought that I would have felt
a snake bite didn't cross my mind).
But what I did notice was that it was very clearly 'scar' tissue, not a fresh bite or a rash - and being a kid I thought it was cool just to have a
scar. My 'scar' was similar to your diagram, except it consisted of two 2mm diameter circles (these were 'solid', not 'ring' like) and they were
enclosed in a "ring' scar which had a diameter of 13mm or thereabouts. The thickness of the ring was about 1mm.
I also remember thinking at the time that it might have been ringworm or a similar skin condition, as suggested to me by my dad. But as it wasn't red
like a skin reaction, and definitely looked like a scar, both my parents and I were not sure what it was.
After a few weeks I convinced my dad to take me to the doctors, on the following day, because I had become so worried about it. However when I woke up
the next morning, the 'scar' had disappeared completely. I found this hard to comprehend – if it was a scar how could it have just vanished like
that overnight? And the timing also seemed weird - the fact that I was going to visit the doctor that day - seemed very strange. I remember I used to
joke with my brother that it was an alien implant.
Has anyone else had a similar experience? I would be very interested to find out.
Thanks for reading
