Are you talking length or width? When I was around 12, I shredded my thighs diving into the canal off a seawall. Flat dive...forgot about the barnacle incrusted mangrove root mass under the surface (the water was high due to recent hurricane activity). Some of the cuts were deep, some shallow...they ran the length of my thighs...about seven inches long. They weren't able to put stitches in on the deeper ones, so they wrapped my legs tightly with gauze to try to hold the skin together. The shallow ones, and the ends of the deeper ones are all blended in with the rest of the skin now. You can see them if you do a close inspection. The edges/sides of the bigger ones never healed together properly, and left scars up to 1/2 inch wide. Those have never tanned. They stay my normal "beige" color despite how deeply tanned my legs get. So...I look like I'm part zebra when I've spent a lot of time in a swimsuit. The worst ones are above the hems of most of my shorts, so they are rarely seen anymore.![]()
Oh! No it's just a thin line. Well. It's a 90 degree angle. But it's thin.
