المستخلص: Body modification has been performed for a variety of reasons in many societies, and a plethora of historical and current forms of modifications exists for different reasons. This study is about scarification in sub-Saharan Africa. It is performed in communities of black Africans to make permanent marks and scars, more apparent on their black skin than tattoos. Each community makes scars of a certain shape that distinguishes them from others, in an expression of their cultural identity, or to communicate specific messages and signals to others. The forms of scars vary, taking the form of a fish, a bird, a crocodile, etc. The process of scarification begins with making wounds in the body, followed by treating them with some material to delay their healing and obtain hypertrophic scars. Despite the severe pain experienced by those who undergo this process, there is a serious desire from the person himself and members of his community to make these scars, to prove his ability to withstand hardships and pain (hardness), especially when moving from childhood to adulthood. It is a ritual of moving from a stage to the next, and a desirable aesthetic feature that should be existent in the future husband, especially that it is believed that these scars can resist disease. Scarification is practiced by some for curative and preventive purpose-¬es, but there is no evidence of its effectiveness in treating any disease. The study also presented various forms of scars, with examples from several African countries. Finally, it indicated the medical risks resulting from the use of non-sterile tools during the process, and the necessity to work to raise the awareness of those communities of the dire consequences of scar-ification.
