You're a fool if a scar like this on your hand is what is making you an introvert.

I don't think the scar calls for having insecurities.

Felyyaks:
If you had taken the tetanus injection,you wouldn't have gone through all the stress.
Anyways you shouldn't feel inferior because of the scar,with the right medication it will disappear though gradually.


This has nothing to do with tetanus injection.

Tetanus injection is to prevent tetanus and the man did not have tetanus. He had an infected wound which healed with a hypertrophied scar. ( I don’t think it is keloid). That’s all.

The guy should think positive. This was an accident and he was lucky he did not lose his arm. People lose arms and sometimes even lives in accidents , a scar is not a life sentence , it is just a cosmetic issue.

somehelpington those Oyibo when dey form say we Africans nor get sense na them mumu pass cos we don get cure for many things before them come our land.. I will give you two things that worked for for my sister (her once swollen knee flattened and I still wonder if it was a magic). You have to be consistent with it cos this story happened when we were still kids and today the scar matches her skin.
1. Boar oil (this is not always easy to come bye so she never really used it cos it's common in villages and you have to book for it so we had to rely on relatives who visited our village frequently, but it was still difficult to lay our hands on it)
2. That oil-like substance that comes out of fire wood each time you cooking with it, at times it's foamy and red ( this was the ones she used back to back cos my grandmum was always giving us that amazing dish prepared with clay pots, missing those good old days lol).

Bro use these stuffs and you will be OK, trust me it has been tested. Though result is not immediate but it works, good luck.






God bless Nigeria.

Although your refusal of taking the tetanus toxoid injection did not lead to the infection and scar, you should not have rejected the injection except if have taken all the five shots of tetanus toxoid that makes you immune for life. Trust me if the wound had gotten infected with tetanus, that tiny blob of a scar would have been the least of your problems

I sympathize with you for the emotional trauma that you have been through in the cause of treating this injury. Even the Bible says in John 16:33
"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
Meanwhile this problem is not as critical as you have fabricate it. Although financial incapacitate can really exercerbate a minor condition. Firstly, be prayerful cause this may be a spiritual attack and the wish of enemy is for you to keep fetching water into an empty basket, secondly present your case to some NGO's or religion bodies out there who can assist you with financial support, thirdly, you should stop killing your psychological confidence because of minor scar. I know of a rich footballer named Carlos Tervez who wears a massive scar on his neck and he doesn't have issue with that. Yours even look very much like a tattoo. Wear your confidence back and move on with life brother. Most people out there have more serious problems than steering at a scar in another man's hand. Good luck !

Good day all. I'll try to be brief and detailed.

I had to open a new account to stay anonymous because most of my friends come here to read news.

Pardon my english please. It all started in April of 2018. My friend told me that there was this trader nearby who needed our help to move her container shop. I think we were 6 in number or so that went to do the job. After which we were paid 400 naira each, some got 300.

While moving the container to the spot she directed us, the guy beside me left the container without informing me or should I say his hands slipped off. (Only God knows). The container gave me a deep sharp cut on my left arm.

There and then, I was rushed to a nearby chemist store to dress the wound, at the expense of the owner of the container, but I refused to take tetanus injection. For more than 6 months, the wound was taking forever to heal.

Around October 2018, My mum took me to one hospital near our house. It was when the doctor told us that the wound has already been infected, that was why it refused to heal or close up, and that the alternative was to cut off the infected surface and then stitch it up. After all and all, my mum paid 2 to 4k, (I've forgotten the exact amount). I was booked for operation on Friday morning.

I got to the hospital around 10 in the morning. The doctor gave me some injections on my left arm. She told me to lie down on the bed and close my eyes. tongue Before then, I think I saw one of the nurses giving her the surgical blade (very sharp). shocked shocked There and then, she proceeded to cut of the infected surface, which I think lasted roughly 1 hour. After that, she began to stitch it up. I could feel what was going on grin grin but I don't think it hurt me either, maybe it was because of the injection. When she was done, she used plaster to cover it up and told me to be coming for injections for one week.

After one week, I went back to the hospital, where one of the nurses had to remove the plaster and surgical thread after bombarding my buttocks with injections for 7 days. grin grin After some days, I noticed the surface began to inflate on a daily basis. We went back the hospital and the doctor told my mum to buy what the Igbos call Abuba Eke (snake skin) to rub on the surface. After using it for some days, I noticed it wasn't working, which means it was not the original Abuba Eke.

Fast forward to March of 2019, we went to another hospital, where we met one doctor like that, I can't remember what they called him but I think he's in charge of skin related issues. (That was not before paying 2k for card). Even after explaining our predecament to him, he still insisted we should get the card.

After that, he directed us to Orchard Pharmacy, to go get one injection like that. It's sold for 2k and the bottle is very small. He said it would be the best treatment, that after giving me the injection for like 2 or 3 times, it would flatten the scar, because it was a keloid scar and that if I should decide to operate on it, which he would advise us not to, that it might still come back after sometimes in a bigger form. All this made me scared. sad

Well, we came back with the bottle injection which he gave me 3 times right beside the scar, it was very painful but I am a man. grin grin After sometimes, I noticed the scar got inflated and was like about to get burst. When we got home, It was now flatter than it was. Due to money issues, we didn't go back to the hospital. (Chai, I must make am) sad

Now, I am very confused at this point. I don't know if I should go to the village to collect the Abuba Eke (snake skin) my grandma bought to be using on the scar or we should go back to the hospital (in search of the man, that's if he's still there) to collect the remaining injections.

I know my case is not the worst and I still have hope because I believe, My current situation is not my final destination.

Please I need your help and contributions.

NB: Please don't come here to tell me to go and make money first, as if money equals peace of mind. sad sad

I'd be grateful if it gets to the front page.
. Bros it's well. I just want to encourage you. God created me beautiful,but i got a medium sized scar under my right eye. This one na face o,and I am a woman. It affected me seriously,but after a while I began to overlook it and carry myself with pride, infact men were even falling over themselves to toast me o. I realise people look beyond my scar and see my unassuming and good heart. When I ask them do you see my scar some say no and some out of curiosity will start looking for a scar that I can feel with my hand o. Is it not strange?
Life is what you make out if it. Don't let it weigh you down. I can understand the expenses,but look beyond the scar and face life ahead. And Las Las you go make am so that you will refund all the money spent on the scar as well as take care of your mama. God bless

Op, this scar is small compared with the story behind it. You should be thankful. You shouldn't stress over it, tbh.
BTW, your friends will still know it's you, I mean, they know you and they know the scar.

If you're in Lagos, go to Ojota market and locate Herbamanial organic shop. They sell original Python fat ( abuba eke). Then get lavender and tea tree essential oils and mix with the Python fat and be using on the scar. It will help diminish it.

Note: please the essential oils should be used in drops of 10 to 15 in a 50g fat.

Nice skin you've got for a man. grin

Just buy a topical steroidal cream.

Should ease the scaring a bit.

I understand why you feel insecure about your scar. Na mostly ruggedmen dey get scar like that and if Sars see you, dem go specially reason you because of the scar.

Anyhoo, you could make wearing long sleeve shirts a habit.

I know a Guy that has a long scar with stitch marks, like a huge centipede on his arm.

I can say he didn't get it as a "rugged" man because he was a 12 year old boy when I met him. He had an accident when he was like 7 years old.

OP should go on with his life. Scars are a sign of the past.
