I got a scar on my knee after learning to ride my bike, and I just couldn't leave the scartissue alone, I was scratching it all the time.
My mother explained me that I had to stop, and that the hole in my skin was growing shut when it was itching and that finally there would be no hole left on my knee if I let it itch for a long enough time without scratching.
The logic of itching = no more hole, was fine by me untill I forgot to rinse after using soap in the shower and my butt started itching A LOT!
I ran into the bathroom screaming, and intended to remain seated at the toilet cause I wanted to get as much out of there as possible before it closed permanently.
