Uncomfortable in my own skin!
Hey everybody. Well, I'm 14/f and African American (if that's of any help). I have like these scabs on my legs, and I really want to get rid of them, but everything that I've tried had failed. I really don't feel comfortable showing off my legs, but they're in really good shape and they look nice, and I really do want to show them. If anybody knows of any creams, etc. that help with scabs, discoloration of skin, or scars, and that can get my skin clear in the quickest time, I would really appreciate that! Thank you soooo much!

Maybe give some free advice about: Injuries?
The question is, why do you have the scabs? Is it from shaving and ingrown hairs? Are they itchy? Your best bet is to see a dermatologist to get medicine that will clear them up quicker. Don't use hydrocortisone or other steroid creams, or hydroclorquin..which can lighten black skin. If you don't want to see the doc, you could try a newer cream called calmoseptic, I have seen pretty good results from that.

I swear by Palmers Coca Butter. If you have any discolorations, stretch marks or scars, overtime it fades it to the color of your skin.

Depending on how bad the scars are, Cocco butter (the palmers brand) can help clear up your skin(I use it all the time).It wont clear up right away but you will notice a difference later on. If that doesn't work, try asking your parent to take you to a dermatologists and they will prescibe something to help.

My friend uses cocoa butter to remove scars on her, she says it works really great! Cocoa butter also works for bags under your eyes and things like that, it should work really good on your legs!
hope this helps:)
