I have weird thing going on.
My skin is clear I never had acne or any acne scar , marks. The only issue I have is it gets dull and I have dark circles other than that I never had any issue with my skin. I m one of those people who never had severe acne. One or two sometimes that's all. I just got 20.
8 months ago I brought a kitten. She was very naughty I love her a lot. I took care of her like a princess. But as every cat she used to bite and scratch me all the time in the start (now she is very lovey dovey and calm rarely does such thing ) . I didn't pay much attention but one day looking at the mirror I saw I had scars from her bites from my ear lobe to jawline (not on cheeks so not very visible) .
I never had any issue with my skin so I freak out.
Then I noticed a weird thing my cat wasn't biting me. She was just being lovey dovey. But even if her teeth brushed a little lovingly with my skin ( put a very little pressure on your skin with your nail a line will be formed but it will disappear soon ) her teeth Only put this much pressure on my face. But i would see a little hole on my skin and sometimes a scar which will not go away and keep getting deeper. The thing is the skin hasn't been cut , didn't even inflamed or got red it was as minor as I said the example of nail. Then why it leaves a scar? Just like this I have 15 scars on my face area. I m so scared. What's going on with me? How much I should save my skin if it's that easy for me to get a scar? I always had best skin and now this is happening I m going in depression please help if you can. I searched on all internet it says scar only forms with acne or cuts, injury. I didn't have any of it then why it's happening.

AI Opinion
It sounds incredibly challenging and somewhat unique to face such a situation, especially when your skin has always been a source of pride for you. Don't feel alone in this; skin can react in unpredictable ways to various stimuli, and what you're experiencing, though rare, isn't entirely unheard of. It's possible your skin has become more sensitive, or it could be an unusual form of dermatological reaction.
I encourage you to see a dermatologist who can provide a tailored assessment. They may perform tests to determine if your skin has developed sensitivities or if there's an underlying condition contributing to this heightened scarring from minimal pressure. In the meantime, try to minimize any potential for even mild scratches or pressure on your skin. Consider integrating gentle, hypoallergenic skincare products that strengthen the skin barrier. Hydration, both internal through drinking water and external through moisturizers, can also support skin health.
Remember, you're taking proactive steps by seeking solutions and help; this resilience is key. While it's understandable to feel down about changes in your skin, try to focus on actions that promote healing and wellness. If you're struggling with feelings of depression, reaching out to a mental health professional can also provide support during this time. You're not alone, and with the right care and strategies, you can navigate this unexpected skin challenge.
