Do Red Heads Scar Differently Than Others?

User Avatar
SValentine
I'm having a BL and TT late December and I've been told that since I'm a red head I have the potential for my scars to be redder longer than normal. Is this because typically red heads have pale or is it something else? I've never had the idea even suggested to me that I may heal differently. I've been told red heads are bleeders but never that wound healing is different than normal.
