This paper deals with the memory of patients with skin marks left by disease. The study was motivated because of the reports made by such patients in medical consultations, whose memories presented demonstrate not only the suffering of physical pain, but the psychological pain caused by the social exclusion that these individuals end up due to prejudice. Therefore, the research corpusis constituted by the reports that we take as discourse for our analysis that we present as a doctoral thesis. In short, this research sought to show how the congenital marks or left by different skin pathologies, mark not only the individual's skin, but also allow the materialization of different lines, which are configured and reconfiguring from different events. We believe that the considerations presented contributed to reduce the negative effects that pathologies cause on subjects, leaving marks that exclude them from social life.
