Scar colouration?

[Project Delta]

Okay guys i'm a bit, not freaked out, but thoughtful about the colour of my scars. AS most of you know scars are usually white, but mine are purple... through and through. Anyone know why this is? or why this could be?

Aaron White scars? Mine sure arent, even after months. Their purple/red, it's because you cut deep like i had, i assume? The only white scars i have are the very shallow ones.

Even my shallow cuts are still purple and these are about 3-4 months old

Even my shallow cuts are still purple and these are about 3-4 months old Hm, dunno then. Maybe your scars don't heal as fast as mine? Cause the white ones are totally gone, the red/purple ones are still sticking out.

I would have posted pictures to show what i mean but it is against the administratory rules

Yeah the purple-ish ones just mean that they were deeper.
Soo.. they do become white too.. it just takes a lot longer than the shallow ones.

googled it and here is what i got:
"During wound healing a small amount of clotted blood may be incorporated into the scar making it pink or purple. This fades away but may take several months."

They do turn white after a while. They all do fade down everntually. I have many white ons from pure accidents like tripping over but they were red or purple for ages. All my cutting ones on my hips are red/purple, but the ones on my hands are either a very pale pink or just a slightly darker tan-y colour - almost white.

All of my scars besides one are really purple. One on my arm is slightly more my skin tone but a few shades darker.

Okay maybe i'm just worrying too much too quickly :)

Yeppers :) Don't worry Pedobearrrr :D (L) :P

My scars used to be white. Then as summer got closer (little sun exposure) they became drastically dark as they all got older. At the beginning, all mine start white and fade to dark. And I'm in the sun a lot and my scars are exposed and mine are now very dark brown/kinda purple.

All mine are kinda red/brown now except for the 3 really deep ones, they are brown/purple.
