Scars can sometime mean you overcame something pretty substantial in your life; or, they are just there. You should never be afraid to be who you are, and worry about those few who may judge you for something like this. Be secure in who you are. that scar, or hair, doesn't define you. Someone who truly wants to be with you, won't see it as a flaw - just part of who you are. Maybe it can be an interesting story that may break the ice if someone does happen to mention it. I doubt too many people are going to judge anyone because of a scar on your arm. If they are that type of person -- do you really want them in your life anyway?
