Why is it that I have scars that have lasted since childhood that were caused by totally insignificant injuries, yet when I get really bad injuries now, the scars fade super fast? I thought it was safe to assume that worse injury = worse scar

I’ll add to the other factors, the way a wound heals has a lot to do with the scar it leaves. On both of my index fingers, along the inner side, I have nearly identical hatchet wounds that were made about a week apart and, at the time each was afflicted, were nearly identical in severity. But the first wound I didn’t have proper tending supplies i.e. antiseptic creme, bandaid, etc. I had to makeshift a bandage using paper towel and rubber bands. A day or two later I got the proper supplies. So the time the second wound occurred I had all the supplies ready and could tend it properly from the start. The difference in scar is significant.
