Hey there guys and gals of the wiki. Just rewatching the trailers for The Phantom Pain as I do, and I've been wondering more and more about Snake's scars.

At this stage I guess we're to assume he got them from the chopper crash in Ground Zeroes (though the horn appearing is sketchy), but that's not what this thread is about.

Basically I was just wondering if anyone who works in the medical field would be able to identify what kind of injury would garner a scar like this. For all I know, this could just be the way scars healed in 1984, but something about the dots running parallel to the line in the scarring seems odd to me. Do people really get this kind of scarring?

In all honesty this is probably nothing more than a design choice by KojiPro, but I thought there might be a chance to get some more details about the sort of injuries Snake got. Of course, anyone with scarring of their own that looks similar is free to weigh in too, I'm just really curious.
