No scars on my feet, other than when my little toe was crunched between two floorboards. My mum had a real thing about kids' shoes: round toes, never pointed, no slip-ons (bad for the feet), proper room to grow, etc. and that stuck with me.

Cooking scars-- one of my fingers has a scar on the side and another on the tip, two separate times that I sliced it off peeling or cutting potatoes. I usually have at least one burn mark going at a time, but then they fade away.

The thing with burn scars like that is that the more you get them, the less you get them-- your body becomes desensitised and stops reacting to them, so you don't blister or scar as much.
