Scars..safe i think

[danger2myself]

riight i really didnt know where to put this, so if its in the wrong place im sorry.. i just need some advice off someone who can relate
I have many many many bright pink raised scars on both arms..and
basically im sick of wearing long sleeves all the time to cover up scars, and bein limited on what i can actually wear and always being boilin and just dealin with it..and plus in the summer im off on holiday with a friend so will have to handle havin scars on show
so im wonderin whether tomoroo at 6 form i should brave havin them on show >.< just to get used to it really.. i mean its such a scary thought and i dunno , i know i can take a long sleeved jaket with me incase i change me mind but still.. like there are soo many of myfriends who dont know, and it would be awkward and wierd..is it stupid idea. argh i dunno. sorry i just realised this is a bit pathetic..its just i dont really know where else to turn?

I think its really brave of you to this, so if you feel your ready, just do it. Like you said take a long sleeved top. Ive only just started wearing short sleeved tops after 7 years and it was hard and you do get a few people looking but it gets easier. In the mean time try some stuff that to help reduce the scars, such as bio-oil and coco-butter are meant to be good. Hope this helps, let us know how you get on

If you think you can handle it, go for it, you can always take a long sleeved top to change into if it gets too much. The oil is a good idea though, or you could try putting foundation on your arms? Good luck with it *Hugs*
