Hi :)
I too have scarred my arms permanently. Your feelings are valid, whatever they might be. I hid mine for a long time but I finally decided that wasn't helping me. I am not proud of them by any means but it is a part of me. There are so many people who self harm secretly. You are training to be a nurse and I think working as a nurse, you will see many people with self harm scars. If they see yours, they wont feel so alone. It will comfort them and also show them there is a way out of this destructive behavior. Your arms tell a story about you and what you have overcome. This will help alot of patients that you see and treat.
I have used mederma from time to time to reduce my scars. I have alot of keloid scars and it really doesnt work on them. I know there is a type of laser treatment you can have to reduce them alot. I look up to you :)
loves.
xxxxx
