I received some kind of injection when I was a baby and the needle broke. As a consequence, I ended up with a round dark scar. When I was around 17 years old a surgeon removed the round dark scar and made it horizontned as you can see in the photo.

I've seen 2 surgeons but only one recommended me to re open de scar.
