Most people don't see it unless I point it out.
On the second joint from the tip of my right index finger, there is a large scar. Its position on top of my finger inhibits me from reaching deep into the server and desktop cases that I encounter on my job. (The scar is larger than the skin naturally occuring on the top of this join and has a slightly higher elevation)

As a result of being right handed in a computer field, I do alot of point and showing with my hands -- this is noticeable, not horribly so, but its there and it bothers me. I'm not sure if many folks notice or not. I'm selfconscious about shaking hands and pointing. Most of the time, I roll my thumb overtop of it to hide it or put my finger in my pocket.

My general doctor suggested that a plastic surgeon might be able to remove the scar.
