Scars...

[Bathelina]

I don't SI any more, but I used to. I only did properly twice, and it was ages ago. But I scratched: which leaves huge marks. Willl they ever fade? There's one on each arm so I can't wear any short sleeved t-shirts and if I do I have to wear a jumper. I don't SI anymore and I certainly do not plan to but I'm just worried that I'll never be able to get rid of them completely? Can anybody help me? I'd really appreciate it.

Love,
Hannah :):):)

scares will fade to some degree.....some wont ever dissaper compleatly but eventually they will become alot less noticeable.
use e45 cream and vit E cream on them daily.
also people dont notice scars half as much as you think you do.
theres some kick ass excuse posts kicking around here somewhere.

im glad you dsont p[lan to si again
good luck and hold on.

Along with that you can use makeup that matches your skin to camoflague them a bit, while you are waiting for them to fade up.

Or then you could wear them proudly and use them as a reminder of all the reasons everyday why you don't cut yourself anymore... There were times when I stopped cutting myself for several months, and you have no idea how good it felt to go outside, somewhere where people didn't know me, and let everyone see my scars (they weren't bloody anymore).
