Same. I had to have it done for this very reason. Albeit I had it done at a very young age it was incredibly painful. The stupid surgeon wrapped my 'head' with an adhesive bandage as opposed to just cloth. Therefore it pretty much fused with my skin. When it came to getting the bandage taken off it wouldn't budge, he tried all sort of solutions to try and dissolve the glue, none worked. So yep the clever sod told me to grit my teeth and he tore it off. Along with a good chunk of skin. The pain, well, I passed out. I had to have salt baths for 2 weeks straight
All is good now and I prefer it (as have my girlfriends). I am scarred by trauma tho!!!
