make up to hide scarring
blah okay so back in September i was in a wreck where i hit the rollbar in truck face first and had 3 layers of over 50 stitches in a 2-3 inch gash on my forehead. i kept neosporin and vitamin e on it while healing to help it not look so bad and it doesnt look awful but still enough to annoy me. i have side bangs so my hair normally covers it but i want to be able to pull my bangs back and wear my hair in certain styles without people just noticing my scar. most people say its not that obvious but to me it is so i was wondering if anyone had any make up tricks or anything to hide it? specific brands or tips? im not real embarrassed of it or whatever cuz i have a pretty cool story behind it haha but i still dont wanna feel like its always noticeable. i wear make up daily so i put concealor and foundation over it but its still there plain as day. also since it has been this long would mederma or another scar treatment like that work? its like a depressed scar in my skin from the stitches its not just like a discoloration or anything. any help would be appreciated! (:

since its a depressed scar it would be very difficult to regenerate the tissue i believe however i could be wrong, i have a big scar around my elbow but its more like the contrary of a depressed scar and ive been told that creams and that kiind of stuf don't work on this kind of scars that only cosmetic procedure like surgery done on it will remove it so i assume thisi s very similar to ur case, however you should get more information about this my answer is more related to the make up thing..
since i had a bit scars on my face for a bad acne stage i went through ive seen that the make up that really hiddes must imperfections is MAC and Lâncome. they can be a bit expensive compared to make up you find at walmart or whatever but to be honest it is working mac can be kinda too much for wearing during the day maybe but to be honest it is really good just try not to use it in excess since MAC make up tends to like not let your pores open hence causing acne if you dont take care of your skin properly..
lancome make up its really good too,, and it lasts for a good amount of time and doesnt look too heavy for wearing during the day i sometimes use lancome for day to day and mac for nigth ocassions
one thing you could do is ..you could maybe go to a dermathologist to tell you about how can u make your scar less visible , it will be worthy AND go to a department store like macy's for example and try on the different brands of make up and see which one you like best...this is how i found a brand for me , ive tried estee lauder , dior , lancome , mac , clinique , etc etc...and you can ask the ladies at the counter to do your make up around that area if not in the full face tells them youre looking for a make up to cover your scar and maybe make up artists there like the ones at mac or lancome could advice you about this :) you just have to try one clean your face and then try another one and so on
good luck! :)
