Hey guys, for starters I just wanted to say thanks, it been almost three months since I self injured:] But I wanted to ask if you have any advice on how to cover up or get rid of the scars. I don’t like seeing them, they make me remember things that I don’t want to think about. And everytime my boyfriend sees them he gets really sad, he never says anything of course, but I can read his expression. And now that volleyball season is starting, I have to wear a uniform. And it bothers me when everyone (including the coach) constantly stares at me. Can you only cover it up with makeup or something? Or is there a way to get rid of the scars for good?
hey um this stuff called mederma is a scar remover. it works if you use it correctly. my friend let me use it but i always forgot to put it on as recommended. but if put on 3-4 times a day for 8 weeks for newer scars and 3-4 times a day for 3-6 months for old ones they will fade. it costs a lot but it is supposed to really work. hope i helped
hey cocoa butter lotion works really well too. just use it every day once or twice, it takes a swhile but it gets rid of the scars, and its not so expensive, plus it smells REALLY GOOD =P
good job on going 3 months btw!
good job!
i play volleyball and basketball and i found that using cocoa butter helped but for actually covering it up, i use foundation, cover up, and powder which makes it blend in. during practices however, if you don’t want to use make up then wearing long sleeves is the next best thing. it kind of stinks but i did it all year long and it helped me concentrate better because i knew no one would be looking at my scars. i hope i helped and good luck with volleyball and everything. 🙂
