I suppose I would have been the one to take the 'carve' method, removing the damaged tissue and having new skin grafted on. If the doctor presented that as an option and it was refused, then that's fair, but as someone who has damaged lymph nodes from an infection I'm keenly aware of the misery a chronic condition can cause with no real long-lasting solution. Yet I still was given treatment options and medication which I'd expect as standard practice.

If it was a scar on my face I might have gone the plastic surgery route and got it fixed, but it was somewhere where the sun don't shine so I took the "just live with it" option. Cosmetic surgery is still an option, just not really worth it to me, the only people that will ever see it would be sexual partners and it's not so bad that someone would see me naked and be like "that's a deal breaker". Most people don't even notice it unless I tell them. It's on my upper thigh so like for the first week or so when it was swollen and my balls rubbed up against it, it hurt like a bitch, but after that it was just whatever.

But have you got revenge, or did you forgive her or is this an ongoing rivalry, you should at least confront her about what she did
