I'm not sure if this is the right subject, but, I have a lot of scars [I used to cut a few years ago for a few years, like, really bad, but I've stopped] and they are from the really deep cuts that just won't go away. I'm worried that one day I'll go to apply for a job, and I won't get it because they'll see the scars on my arms. [that happened to my friend] Thanks!

Go to your local drug store, either Walgreens or CVS's, ect.
And tell someone who works there you have scars and you'd like them to lessen, you don't need to tell them why, they should just direct you to an aisle.
Runner55 answered Friday March 7 2008, 11:45 pm: I'm really glad that you are not cutting anymore, but I don't think that you should worry about not getting hired for a job. Most times, people base jobs on previous experiences and personality. And I think that it's very wrong, but there are people out there who will judge you by how you look.If you feel really nervous about your scars, then maybe you could ask a doctor about lotions/medicins that could help reduce the scarrage. But I highly reccomend for you to just be yourself, and you'll be sure to find a job with a lot of great people. You sound like a nice person with a good drive. Don't let worry get you down. Good luck! [ Runner55's advice column | Ask Runner55 A Question ]

Deep scars can go away, but they take time.
Use lots of creams, lotions that have Coco Butter in them. Even buy the Coco Butter stick.
Trust me, Coco Butter can lighten - disappear scars.
