My brother had a really nasty one in Junior High. It was in Fish Creek and he basically slid down an entire dirt cliff/hill on one of his shins (obviously not on purpose). It tore almost all of the skin off a 1 foot section of his shin, and it took almost a year for it to heal properly. It required lots of antibiotics, pain killers, and re-bandaging.
A word from the wise: Never pick your scabs. I admit sometimes it's hard to resist, but when you pick them, they always heal more slowly and leave a bigger scar.
