Does turf burn cause permanent scarring?!


Question:

Does turf burn cause permanent scarring?

Hi! I'm a wide reciever and I was laid out by a linebacker and the attacked by a lineman lol. I wasnt badly hurt but i received a turf burn from 6 inches above my ankle, to 2 inches below my knee. Its about 4" x 6" and I was wondering if it would leave a permanent scar.

Answers:

alright apparently the burn nurse was absent when they were teaching the difference between a turf burn and a regular burn. a turf burn is more of an abrasion mr male nurse.

lol linebackers will do that. it shouldn't scar permanently. when the skin's healing it can be slightly lighter in color than the surrounding area. chicks dig scars btw so i wouldn't worry too much about it.
