I have never heard of anyone pulling out kidney stones as you have done. You were brave to have done so. So I wouldn't say that it was normal, but leaving scar tissue would be normal if you cut or torn the flesh/skin while doing it. Not much you can do about the scar tissue and as long as it's not interfering with you ability to urinate etc., then don't worry about it, but still it might be a good idea to talk to your doctor.

Well that's a nasty bit of information. Have you thought about discussing this with your Doctor? You might not be able to do anything about scar tissue......but why'd you have scar tissue from pulling a kidney stone out (unless you were using gardening shears to do it) is beyond me.
Go see your Doctor. Good luck!

How ever did u manage to "pull them out" yourself? U cannot remove scar tissue if u tore the head doing surgery. Cosmetic surgery might be able to to do something for it, but u will be ok unless it somehow interferes with u urinating.
