Scars from cutting?!


Question: Scars from cutting!?
I used to cut my legs really deep and wide, and now I have major scars on my legs!. I need to figure out some way to make them less noticable!. In gym at school, we wear shorts, and the people stare at my legs every chance they get!. And this summer my family and I are taking a beach trip and I dont want them to see and say something!.
So is there any really good creams to make them look less noticable!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
hey there!!.!.!.
well you can try something along the lines of a lotion from your everyday drug store!.!.!. talk to a pharmacist!.!.!.
and another thing that is vital!.!.!. take vitamin E tablets every day!.!. and when i say everyday!.!. i mean it!.!.!. it will help your skin and should heal your scar a bit!.!. i was once told that if you slice open the vitamin E tablet (liquid filled) and pour it over the scar as a lotion or smthg it will be a bit faster!.!.!. but i suggest taking it orally!.!. (sinse i haven't tried the other way yet)

go to your local grocery store and they have some cream like stuff you rub on the scars to make them a lot lighterWww@Answer-Health@Com

hi
i am in a simialr situation myself!. i find that products such as bio-oil help lots!. also use tea tree oil becasue this reduces the scar tissue!. if they are red still or a pinkish colour then you still have time to reduce their visibility!. however, if they have gone silvery colour then u mihg tfind that they wont go as the underneath layers of the skin are damaged!.
i use selt tanning lotions and foundation to cover up my arms sometimes!. but people dont notice as much as you might think!. its quite common for people to cut!.

hope this helps
