A member asked:
Can cutting in the same spot over and over cause any serious long term problems? (besides infection and scarring)
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Why would you???: Unless there is some medical reson for doing this, why would you want to cut over and over again in same place? Please explain? Besides infection and scarring, you coul sustain injuries to deep structures such as nerve, tendon, muscle bone. Furthermore, it could cause adhesions and interfere with function or interrupt blood supply and cause delayed healing.
