Over the past few months I've been noticing an increase in scars...
I've always scarred easily but it was usually just on my legs. I scar from every little thing - bug bites, and any kind of scrape. It sucks, but I'm use to my legs looking like it was hit by shrapnel. I know it will fade in time.
But the thing is, lately I've been getting scars on my face and my hands too. Every pimple I get lingers into a scar...I don't get pimples that often so I'm not horribly concerned - but its my face! Not only that but I have to use an oven mitt to play with my kitten or the little tiny scratches it makes turn into scars! Its ridiculous.
My skin isn't dry, or anything like that. This doesn't make sense. I've searched google, ask.com, and wikipedia but to no avail. Nothing would explain why I scar so easily.
Anyone know something I don't?

I also have this problem. I will scar from any little thing, from bug bites, small scratches, i sometimes scar from pimples (which i raely get)but they will go away eventually.. however the scars from insects will stay! I still have scarring on my legs from when i had that chicken pox and that was when i was about 5! im not 19 turning 20, I am asain mixed so I have olive skin.
People usually compliment me on my skin, but I'm very concious of it. I have scars down my legs, ony my face and light ones on my arms and have a few stretch marks on my inner thighs. I hate them. My sister also has the same problem but worse. I think we just have really sensitive skin. I hated wearing shorts and skits and dresses.
About 2 years ago I started using Bio Oil which has helped, it has basically lightend the scaring on my legs quite alot (mine are dark due to my skin) and even though i have tan skin i have started to buy tanning spray and it helps to cover them easy so Im not too worried about wearing skirts anymore.
I dont think that scarrign can go away, ive had mine for year and they have faded a little but still visible. So I would suggest that you just work with what you have. Although i do know there are lightening gel that you can purchase online to lighten the skin area or bleaching products. If you cant get rid of them completly then try and cover them with makeup or airbrush and you'll be fine. I use makeup to cover the ones on my face.
As for your legs remember to EXFOLIATE EXFOLIATE EXFOLIATE!!! get rid of any dead skin layers..and dont forget to moisturize everyday.
