I recently had a skin biopsy done to verify what was exactly causing the condition I was experiencing.

Now I have a tiny tiny little cut on me, and I am thinking “huh that’s going to heal funny / scar”.

What was your skin biopsy like?

    The only scars I have are surgery scars. Surgeries involved going all the way through the skin to what’s beneath. All the other injuries I’ve gotten must have been too shallow to form a permanent scar (some formed temporary scars that disappeared over time). If your skin biopsy is just a “tiny little cut” then it most likely won’t scar unless you’re prone to scarring.

    I second the recommendation for silicone treatment; that’s what I used for my surgery scars and they helped a lot. For the surgeries I’ve had, it’s not possible to not scar, but silicone scar treatment has made my scars change colour to the same colour as my skin so they blend in very well now.
