I have a scar on my boob from fag ash. I was wearing a low cut top, was dancing with a fag. Ash dropped on my boob. Didn't notice it for a while as I was very drunk and when I finally felt the pain it was agony! Was running around trying to get my top off to wipe it away.


Bloody hell that must have hurt.

No it won't, it's probably the mildest form of a burn you can get.. it'll go away soon. Put some burn cream on it, a dab of antiseptic and put a plaster on.

My cig burn scarred permanently pretty badly. It was a second degree burn, definetly not the mildest form of a burn you can get. :s-smilie:
I have a scar on my arm from when my housemate burned my arm with his cigarette.

I was in a club once and I went to light up, in a non crowded area, but some guy fell in to me knocking the ash off my cigarette on to my eye. I had a huge, sore blister on my eye for ages :frown:

A properly done fag burn can leave a nasty scar - it's all about technique.

Ultimately, it depends on heat, contact time, depth of burn and your skin as to whether or not you'll develop a scar and how long that scar will last.

My friend left a cigarette burning on her arm for about ten minutes when drunk. She has a huge scar on her arm. In your case, however, I doubt it'll be too bad.

nah, no scar usually. it just hurts like a ****************.
I was out with friends abut a year ago, and one of them burnt me on the arm with a cigarette. There is a small scar there now, it has definitely gone down since it happened, but you can still see it. It's not too noticable though, I probably just notice it more because I know it's there. Its not like a 'normal' scar, it's just a slightly different colour to the rest of my skin, and isn't raised or anything. On the other hand I have friends who have had pretty bad cigarette burns and they have no scarring what so ever!

This thread has had one hell of a bump :s-smilie:

Anyways, the burn has healed up quite nicely. Still got a faint mark but it's not too noticeable, hopefully it will go away completely :smile:
