I was a cutter... im not anymore. I did it for about 2 months and finally my boyfriend got me to stop on my own. So, i made some pretty interesting designs when i cut myself... I cut in the middle of my forearm and i made shapes like hearts and stars and stuff and ive quit back in February. I wear a wristband now, but, my parents haven't found out that i used to cut myself. So, what my question is, is there a way i can get the scars to be not very visible for summer? Because i know that i will be swimming a lot and be real active... help is appreciated and im getting sick of wearing a wristband all the time...

lol ANYWAY!......hm. keep them out of the sun...they wont necissarily be ready this summer but just keep it out of the sun and put sunblock on it. i had surgery on my back and thats what my dr. said for my scars.

And if your parents ask... tell them the truth you have nothing to hide. You quit on your own and your better now. Hope i could help.
xxfilmingfrenzyxx answered Saturday June 4 2005, 3:43 pm: I might sound like a comercial saying this but it works. If you put neosporin on the scars everyday it'll work. A better thing to do is to put Vitamin E on it and Aloe. It works really well and gets the scars gone fast. When i say fast i mean fast. Do this, it can't cost you more than about $10 from the drug store. They'll be gone by the time you want to start swimming if you doit now.

GroverTheStoNer answered Saturday June 4 2005, 2:57 pm: Yay summer! Okay sorry. Well there is a special creme to put on scars that I've heard about. You can probably find it at a drug store or something like ShopKo or Walmart. Good luck with that!

clearlypink428 answered Saturday June 4 2005, 2:23 pm: well, kudos to not cutting anymore. i give you props on that one.scars like that usually heal after a while. you say you only did it for a couple months, so they cant be all that bad.i would suggest covering them up with waterproof makeup for a while. other than that- there really isnt anything to do. if your parents see it, and question them about it- dont hide anything from them. the main part is that you quit. you are no longer into that, and let them know that youve changed. really hope i helped. lamewithakause@yahoo.com [ clearlypink428's advice column | Ask clearlypink428 A Question ]
shake answered Saturday June 4 2005, 2:07 pm: Yeah, no. Scars dont go away. Especially on whiners who want attention like you did. You dont deserve to have those scars dissapear, you did it to yourself. Now deal with it. [ shake's advice column | Ask shake A Question ]

orphans answered Saturday June 4 2005, 1:55 pm: Well there's this scar solution thing that I've seen advertised on tv. It's supposed to make scars less noticeable and not as dark I think. I'm not sure where you can get it, probably Wal-Mart or any store like that.
