I know scars suck. But read my signature.
I met a nurse recently while here who had very obvious SI scars across her arms. They didn't. Trigger me or put me off talking. They helped me open up because I understood that she could empathise.
Likewise, there was a nurse at the Brooke who had scarring, though I'm not sure what from and she was happily milling around in short sleeves.
They don't have to be a bad thing.
They may be with you for life. But they tell a story of your survival. Not of your failings.
