Thanks, Jennifer... It really does not bother me at all. I just wondered what others did, if anything.
As you said, there are many other age-related "imperfections" to worry about. 🙂

I had melanoma on my lower arm about 100 years ago! The scar is quite large- about 3 inches x 2 inches. I also had a skin graft on my stomach & my thigh resulting from this surgery, Then more scars from removal of my lymph nodes.
I also have many other cancer scars from Moh's surgery on my legs and face.
They are not just "imperfections", and they do bother me. but perhaps as a woman I tend to be more vain than a man would be.
I have had a few rude comments, several asking if the arm scar was from a shark bite!
