    Duh Freddy Kreuger arm PLEASE PLEASE help!!

    I cut my arm up when I was 14. That was yeeaarrs ago, but I am so pale and my scars are lifted above skin... So it's very obvious. Everyone tells me I am beautiful. I know I am.. Until I look at my arm, then i want to hide forever. In the summer time for some reason they're more obvious.
    I've done vitamin E, maderma and even talked to a demotologist. He said they have to be like major to get them lasered. Wth?? Anyways, I hattttee being perceived as a cutter I did it one night at 14 and the assumption has stuck since obviously.



    I don't know what to do. I see girls who were hardcore cutters and their stuff is basically invisible.. No raised scares or obviousness


    PLEASE tell me how to get rid of this BS!!!! I have a son I DO NOT want him seeing that or parents making comments around him. Not to mention I just want to feel 100% sexy again not just 75% because of my arm

    if you've tried all of those options already unfortunately i think they're just gonna go away with time. my sister was hit by a car back when she was around that age i think and she had bad scars all on her arms also. she's 22 now and you can still see the scars (she's also extremely pale) but they have definitely gotten better.

    as for work you should wear one of those leg warmer things for arms (not sure what it's called..arm warmers? lol) and maybe buy tattoo concealer to try to make them less noticeable (kat von d has a good one)

    good luck!

    If you're looking for a serious, permanent solution, there are cosmetic surgeries you can get, and those laser treatments really do work. Expensive, but I've seen some of the finished work, and it's impeccable.

    You should go get opinions from a number of other dermatologists who specialize in laser technologies. Maybe even post a photo on RealSelf.com & ask the doctors what technologies they think would be best. Here's the trick though, if 5 doctors say that removing it with lasers isn't possible, & only 1 says it is... chances are that if you do it you won't get the results you want. While sometimes 1 doctor can be ahead of the curve, more often they are either lying to collect the money from the procedure, or their expectations are lower than the expectations of other doctors.

    i use spray tanning to hide stretch marks and it works great, and for extra coverage at work, i use Lorac TANtilizer, or a similiar product. Its basically a shimmery body bronzer but it has some coverage to even out skin tone.

    Have your doctor presecribe you Cordran tape. It's what I got for my BA scars because I am prone to raised scars. Cordran tape has steroids in it and will work wonders for your scarring. Most specifically it's for keloid-type scarring but any sympathetic Dermatologist shouldn't have a problem giving this to you. Try it before shelling out a zillion dollars on lasers. It's like 100x stronger than Mederma.
