Hiya I work in a school and have been asked a few times by children and because they are actually on my shoulders most of them it is an unusual place (was trying to hide them with t-shirts in past) so people don't generally put 2 and 2 together so I think i actually get asked a lot more because people are generally puzzled :( to the kids I say oh they've always been there very vaguely then change the subject or sometimes I can get away with I've just itched my arms is all (they are white so i can just about get away with it temporarily).to adults well that has always been a tricky one most of the time i get embarrassed and say its nothing sometimes if its someone i know better then that then i have said i had a difficult past.most people won't go any further as they feel embarrassed to have asked in the first place-which quite frankly if they are an adult then i think they should be its rude.I hope it goes well for you as someone has mentioned its quite common for people to not notice even the most obvious scars,you'd be surprised :)
