How to hide it


Question Posted Thursday August 5 2010, 2:48 am

So when I was five I got shingles which is like chicken pocks, but worse. I got it on my bottom. and The doctor said not to scratch it, my mom said the same thing. But I did, I scratched it a lot and I completely covered in scabs. Well now I have scars on my bottom, and I also sometimes get small break outs of acne on my body, usually my face neck shoulders back and bottom. But usually one or two on my face one or two on my shoulders and back and same for my bottom. But Usually they go away. But I have a really scarred up bottom and it really ruins my self confidence because there's nothing I can do, I also have a big scar down my back from a surgery sometimes I feel okay about it, other times I hate it. My boyfriend and I are sexually active and he likes my body, but I always hide my bottom from him and my breasts since they're sorta small. It bugs him a lot, I recently told him why I hide it and he says he's seen and doesn't mind and thinks I'm still just as sexy and beautiful.
I don't care though, I still fill really self conscious and disgusting. I cry sometimes about this.
I can't stand it. How can I hide these imperfections? Or hide the scars or even better, how can I get rid of them. I'm sixteen and I'm not the richest and I just really need to know how I can at least boost my self confidence and not feel so disgusted or help get rid of this flaw.

I wouldnt worry about it. Because that's your beauty marks, My family tells me this all the time. And if your boyfriend can except you for who you are and if he still thinks your just as beautiful than i wouldnt worry about it. Because it doesnt matter what anybody thinks about yourself just hold your head up high because your beautiful inside and out!

I'm not going to give you hints on how to hide your imperfections.

I will tell you this:

I am only 22 years old, but I have a network of stretch marks like a map of the New York subway system. I have a giant scar from where I hurt myself figure skating as a child. I'm at least 100 lbs overweight. My chest is large, but it's certainly not perky and never will be. I also get breakouts in odd places. All told, I'm an incredibly imperfect human being.

I also have a wonderful fiance who loves to see me naked, in spite of all this and many more flaws.

A man who loves you will love you not just in spite of, but because of your imperfections. He probably loves each and every scar on your body, because it's a little part of what makes you physically you.

If you were a little older, I'd suggest having your boyfriend take a couple of black-and-white naked pictures of you. It did wonders for me. Maybe you could try in your bathing suit? It helps to see yourself in someone else's eyes.

I can guarantee that if you were to be naked in front of him with the lights on, he won't be thinking "EEW SHE HAS A PIMPLE!". He'll be thinking about how lucky he is to be with such a beautiful woman. You'll see it in his eyes.

Theres a thing called bio oil and it reduces the look of scars, uneven skin tone and stretch marks. Id try that first as its not expensive it may help. Apply it everyday. If this doesnt work go to your doctor (I know it may be embarassing but they see alot worse believe me)they may have creams to help scars and they will know which ones work the best.

I hope this helps hun

Hey there,
Yea, it can be very hard not to scratch something that is itchy. I had chicken pocks before and even now I have scars from scratching some alot.

One thing that works really well is salicylic acid; it is one of the top recommendations to ged rid of acne problems. You can find it in a drug store where all other acne products would be. Once you have it, you just wash your skin wherever there is acne, apply the salicylic, lather up, wait a few minutes, then rub sugar in a circular motion into your face/back/shoulders, wash, and then moisturize with something like coco butter.

As for your shingles, you can do the same thing; use the salicylic acid process. It can take up to a year, but if you do it consistantly, you will have the results of the shingles starting to go away and then completely disappearing for good. Depending on where you buy these products, it can cost about $16 for the salicylic acid and $6 for the coco butter. Sugar, you may already have in your house.

You must have a great boyfriend, and since he is very supportive to you, you could ask him to help you apply this formula to your acne and scars if you are comfortable. Making it an effort between bf/gf will encourage you to stick to this routine, make you feel proud of yourself, and bring you closer together knowing you are both helping the situation. It is alright to have small breasts, believe me.. you wouldn't want huge ones where you can hardly run without having to stop because your breasts are thumping up and down. I know a lot of girls that wish for small ones like yours. Love who you are... your boyfriend already does ;)
