It can indeed. Is there any way, .Black.Rose. that you could find a nice, sunny spot somewhere away from people and sun bathe, helping to change the colour of your skin a little, soften the scars and make them less visible, therefore making you less conscious of them?
Surprisingly, I can't wait for this summer, even though I'm gonna have the worst scars I've ever had.
I'm going to sun bathe as much as possible, to allow my scars to soak up the sun and hopefully fade a little more. I find that palmer's cocoa butter has also helped to soften and reduce scars quite a bit, too :)
