why don’t all scars go away if all cells are regenerated over time.

If all skin cells are regenerated every month or so. Why don’t scars go away. If not in a month then surely by a year all marks on skin should go away right. But some scars are permanent.

Scars are not cells but the dead waste of cells that are much harder to break apart and stick more than skin cells mainly because your skin cells are meant to fall off easily where not all cells are.

But scars do fade overtime like tattoos and given enough time they just may become undetectable but you’ll probs be totes dead by then.

I used to have this gnarly scar on my leg from when I got in a fight and actually didn’t get beat up for once and a piece of glass tore my ankle open. It was such a cool scar. Now like 20 years later its a weak little baby scar and frankly just an embarrassment now.
