I completely understand! I'm 2 years post op from heart surgery and my sternum scar really messed with my mind and my self image. I hadn't been a social nudist up to that point and just nude around home. But I had read about how nudism helps with body image. I decided to plan a trip to the closest nudist resort on a couple of weekdays so there wouldn't be as many people there. My husband and I spent 2 full days and not one person even mentioned my scar! That visit did so much for me and my attitude. I was afraid that people would see the scar first and then me, like I was attached to the scar instead of the other way and I didn't want pity especially since I was all better. No, I'm not perfect but this is the new me and I like me better now after my "initiation" into social nudism.
