Question for women?

Scars on a man, turn on or turn off?

I have some dark spots on the back of my arms and my back remaining from some second degree burns I got last year from hot steam. I had blisters and when they healed, the skin remained dark in those spots. These are not thick scars, but rather skin discolorations. They got lighter but are still visible. They kinda look like marble pattern.

I am muscular and fit, but if you saw me on the beach and saw this "patchwork" on my upper back around shoulder blades, would you be turned off?

I am extremely conscious about it, don't know what to do, trying to tan over them, helps a little but they tan too...

Gonna try the oils...

Thanks!
P.S. I do not care for GUYS' opinions

For me it's not a 'turn off'; I like a man when he is intellectually stimulating even if he were covered with scars from head to foot! That's me
