what do I do?

[-Soph-]

I have scars on my arms from when I self harmed about a year ago, most of them aren't too bad but I have a few obvious ones.
i've noticed since i've moved to us and gotten my fair share of hot weather & obviously been tanning that they've started to become a lot more obvious. (the scar isn't tanning but my skin is)

whats the best thing to do here?

[dirrty]

make up on it?
or im sure there are certain creams or something which can cover stuff like that.

My cousin had a problem with some scars and she got this cream and it made them a lot less obvious, I think if you go to see a doctor they'll help you find one that's best for you because there are quite a lot out there

If someone asks just said you did it on barped wire ;) Also theres that bio-oil? something like that

i've heard that you can get this scar cream that makes them less obvious?

the only hard thing would be getting my mum to buy it for me, i'd need to come up with a good reason.

[uh huh her]

go to the chemists and get it yourself, cos then your mum wouldn't need to know. or just cover them up with makeup.

hmmm you could say that it's affecting your self-confidence and you'd feel more comfortable if they were less visable

There are some creams and patches in the USA. Go to your local: Walmart, Target, Fred Myers, and ask them about it in the pharmacy.

They will help, or ask your doctor.

erm say you burnt your arm on straighteners ages ago, my sister used that scar cream (bio-oil i think its called) ages ago when she burnt her leg on her straighteners.

that won't work, it doesn't look like straightener burns at all, they're long and skinny going down my arm, also, my hair straighteners have really fat plates on them :(

i'll give that bio-oil a go :]
