scars

[Ryukie]

i have terrible scars on my legs from where i cut for two years and only my mum knows

recently i havent cut but i'm stuck with these and everytime i see them it reminds me how it felt and makes me want to again

i've tried creams and things but it doesnt seem to work

i'm guessing that i have to wait for them to fade but is there anything i can do?

i'm worried that i'll start again....

make up like concealer mkaes them fade. seasame seed oil, coconut butter does work. apply 3-4 times a day. try mederma and bio oil as well they seem to work. make sure u don't get sunburned on scars...

Yeah, bio oil seems to work for me :) it should take about 3 months ish, depending how bad or not bad they are, but they'll soon fade if you apply it everyday. Make sure you rub it in properly though, otherwise it'll just sit on the surface of you're skin.

About thinking you might start again, instead of reminding yourself how it used to feel, maybe you should tell yourself how much you regreted it afterwards, and how not worth it doing it again would be. Tell yourself that you don't need it anymore.

Well done for stopping, that's brilliant! :hug:
