It is instead a compelling story of dedication and debauchery, of intrigue and integrity, of recklessness and redemption. It can occur wherever you have a skin injury but usually forms on earlobes, shoulders, cheeks or the chest. It develops in injuries, such as shoulder and knee strains, and is worse if the injury is not properly treated/ rehabilitated. It is often a factor in chronic musculoskeletal pain. SCAR TISSUE far transcends the typical rock biography, because Anthony Kiedis is anything but a typical rock star.
