Remember that kid who sat behind you and always teased you in third grade? The one who ended up stabbing you in the leg with a pencil? I bet you always do when you look at the small grey spot that the pencil tattooed on your leg. Do you recall when you fell off your bike and had a \"road rash\" or abrasion from scraping along the ground, leaving gravel and dirt in your skin? Again, I bet you always do when looking at your skin's discoloration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Anything inserted or embedded in your skin can leave what dermatologists call a \"traumatic tattoo.\" This happens if the particles that make up the color are too large for the body's natural defense cells to remove. As a result, they do not cause inflammation or infection but may stay under the skin forever (see the image below).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
