Shirt On

Well, I can understand, since I have a mole on my back that I don't like. Still, I have also seen people who don't let scars get in the way. One was a woman in shorts who had a series of scars on her knee that looked like they were made by a boat propeller. Another was a woman in a bikini with a Caesarian section scar from her navel down into her bikini bottom.

Nudist philosophy emphasizes body acceptance. Although usually this is applied to size, shape, and level of physical fitness, it could certainly apply to moles, scars, and other "blemishes" as well.

I read some of your messages, when it comes to Scars, people stare and we feel self conscious. When it comes to driving, I agree the seatbelt rubs and it hurts. When it is cold a shirt or sweater makes us feel warm even with no pants or underwear.I am now wearing shirts do to health issues. I am on steroids and I am getting big. I look pregnant. I need surgery for a hiatus hernia repair. After surgery I will wear a shirt due to a scar on my chest.

Your call, but don't let your self get hung up on a scar. Spin a story out of it! Also, ask your doctor what you can do to minimize it. Sometimes rubbing on the scar helps break down the tissue so it's not so noticeable. He or she may have ideas to help with that. Either way, your body is what it is and it's nothing to be ashamed of!
