View Full Version : Covering up

I've cut way less since summer started but I still have lots of cuts and scars all over my lower arm, which is a problem because I play tennis with my dad a lot in the summer and wearing sweatshirts on top of my short sleeve shirt is kinda driving me crazy. I need a way to hide my whole arm under the elbow. At first I was going to use a sweatband but it only covers the cuts, not the scars. Can anyone help...?
Also makeup isn't an option cuz I'm running around and sweating like a maniac...

In my avatar pic, I have elbow length arm socks. They are AWESOME. They're not too hot but can get warm but they're also super cute.
Maybe try something like that? And if it's just scars, you could find thinner fishnet or lace-like ones where they're not nearly as thick.

Waterproof make up?
Bio oil to fade them?
Long sleeves if possible?
If you leave them they will naturally fade, and if your moving your arm about all the time i doubt anyone is going to see.. unless you make it really obvious that your concious of them.. Try to have fun and dont worry about them.

they really stand out though...For one my skin is really really white. Also some of the scars are deep and are like dents in my arm. I think I'm going to try the arm warmers but I'm nervous that it's suspicious, because last summer I didn't need anything on my arms...

You could wear a long sleeved thermal, the cool ones? Like literally the ones that cool you down.
If you want I can find a link when I'm not on my phone tomorrow to show you what I mean?
It's what I used when I cut on my Arms?

Thanks :) Idk though I'm trying to think of the least suspicious thing. I've been playing tennis for five years and NEVER wore long sleeves so I'm nervous...
