Mark of an old injury (4)

I believe the answer is:

scar

(Other definitions for scar that I've seen before include "Mark left by the healing of injured tissue" , "Evidence of an old wound" , "Permanent mark left by a wound" , "Injury mark - cliff" , "area of wound" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
