Just a little update - 8/1/24 - at the urging of a pea through private message, I booked an appt to make sure this wasn't something else going on I should be concerned about. Never even crossed my mind. But I asked about it today, along with a couple other spots and my doctor says they are all good. The scar is more of a red patch of skin (back then it was a scrape on my temple that I poked at until the scab finally fell off) and to keep the new face stuff away from it til it settles down. The other marks I asked about are age spots (ugh) and likely will get more as time goes on. All good!
I was in primary school - grade 4 I think - when I was tobogganing with a friend. Things took a turn and from what my friend pieced together for me (I have no memory of what happened) it ended up with me hitting a tree. I had a concussion and a good mark/scab on my right temple.
i haven’t thought about it in years (I mean it was over 40 years ago lol) but this week, for some reason, that mark on my temple is back. Just a light red mark, but it is a wee bit itchy.
I did start using a new face serum/cream I got last week. It is a natural, lavender based set I got from a local lavender farm that makes all their products by hand, in-house. But I haven’t noticed any other issues with it, and I love how it makes my skin feel.
Just finding it weird that this old scar has reappeared!
ETA - bit of an update. I messaged the owner of the lavender farm - she's a friend. She said she uses it on her scars, it helps with healing scar tissue. So it may just be a sensitive area. She said to give it time, and maybe avoid that area for a bit to give it some space.
