"trace of scar"
Hi there,
Could someone please tell me if the following sentence sounds weird?
■There was no ”trace of scar" after the doctor took off the bandages.
I believe "scar" means a mark left on part of the body after an injury, and trace means a sign that something has happened or existed.
If this is right, does this phrase ”trace of scar" sound like that I am repeating the synonyms(like "a mark of a mark of a scar"), which sounds weird?
I'm sorry if my questions is not very clear.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Nanako
