Scarred for life...?!

Scarred for life...?

Ok, well a few summers ago I went on vacation. I was having a blast until we went to a lake. It was going MAD with mosquitos. Which was a real problem for me. Anyway on my left leg I got over 50 bites and my leg looked like it had polkadots. My grandparents said they would go away before I got back to my parents back where I live. They didnt. They got WORSE! I kept scratching and they turned into bruise type scars. When I went home they faded a little. Then other things happened. Like, a girl at school WAS bullying me and kept kicking me in the leg, I would rub my leg REALLY hard when I got nervous and it would burn and bleed, things like that. I went to my doctor when my parents found out because they though it was serious and they didnt do ANYTHING! I have summer camp on Monday and I cant go like this. We go swimming everyday and my leg looks horrible. So bad I havent been able to go out in public wearing shorts or things like that.I havent worn shorts in public for 3 years!What now?

I also tried wrapping an ace bandage around it. That way once every month I can wear shorts but it comes of in water. PLEASE HELP ME FIND A WAY TO MAKE IT BETTER BY MONDAY!!!

I also tried tanning my leg. No help there. I thought maybe it would blend in a little but after 6 hours in the sun I didnt tan a bit!

And NO! Its not a disease. I got a blood test. They are just scars from burning and scratching.

AND! I dont think I want to get plastic surgery since Im only 12...

There is a product available in department store cosmetics
sections, that completely covers scars and blemishes. It
costs about $10.00, but it's worth it. But the trouble is, I can't
think of the name it's called. Maybe Lubriderm, but maybe
that's not correct. I only know I got a sample of it, when I was
told about it, and I asked the clerk for a sample to try at home.
And she was very cooperative. She gave me a little lipstick
type tube of it. And it covered some vericose veins I have so
that I could wear shorts without being less conscious. So
that's where I'd head, since you might not be able to have
anything done about the scarring, short of plastic surgery.
I'd try any type of concealer, til you find the one that covers
the best.
Good luck!
