    Default HELP with LEGS!

    I went to dance at this place the other night and I f-ed up my legs royally on the edge of the stage (it has an old metal strip with nails) and the pole. The stage is hard wood as well. I am scar-prone. It seems like everything turns into a dark mark on me. I washed the wounds when I could with saline and peroxide. Now, I'm just using shea butter....Anyone have suggestions for getting the wounds to heal without scarring?

    Thanks, I've tried Neosporin in the past, but I still get dark marks! I guess I could wait for them to scar up completely and then use Mederma, but I'm trying to avoid that = (

    I don't know what color your skin tone is, but this Asian girl I know uses bleaching cream for scars. Her skin looks good so might be worth a try?

    Goodness girl, that stage really put your legs through a beating!

    Maybe use neosporin to keep from infections, shea butter for moisterization, and bleaching cream for the hyperpigmentation.

    I get dark marks from the stage too. I need to start taking my own advice ^^.

    You could wear leg warmers or knee highs in the meantime until they heal.

    Use PURE unscented Vitamin E Oil and massage into the affected area at least twice a day. It's a little messy, and does stain, so be careful but it works.

    Taking cod liver oil is supposed to help the healing process too. It's chock full of Vit A.

    You did that on old nails? Have you had a tetanus shot?

    I am caramel-brown I'd say. That's me in my avatar with a nice tan. Oh, you can see my color on my myspace too. I wonder what brand of cream she uses?

    Yekhefah, I'm not too sure about my last one. Back in '05 I think I was up to date. But if not, it doesn't much matter anyway (ok, well it does bother me) b/c I don't have health insurance and can't do much about it in the meantime except use these topical treatments and try to fortify my body from the inside out to fight it.

    If they are still raw with broken skin, go to the store and get the 3M bandaids. The good clear ones.

    All my bad cuts and scrapes you can't tell now due to me not letting ANY air to the wound. The hard scabbing is what causes scarring.

    I HATE cod liver oil- everytime I had to get some as a kid I would be in tears. You can take the pill though. It is liquid cod liver oil in a plastic coating. I would put my head back and swallow it without breaking the pill.

    Hydro cortisone cream -- not the ointment, the cream. It will heal you faster and with minimal scarring. I'm a freeking hydrocortisone junky, I use it for everything. But it really works because it has a steroid that makes your cells replenish themselves faster and more healthy. Also good for rosacia, which I have on my face. It is the only thing allowing me to go outside without a mask on.

    if you start to get sick at all almost every county in the us has a health department
    they do tetnus shots and shit for free if you qualify if not there 10 bucks or so in most states
    those clear bandiads witht the 3x antibiotic in them work well for me
