pink lines as in a kind of scar or pink lines from the old wound area????

deep wounds take longer to repair as there is more tissue damage, try using something like bio oil or vitamin e cream which will help reduce scarring

there is no set time line, im rubbish at healing but some people are much quicker, all depends on how you heal and how deep it was.

are you quite new to sh?? x

if you get vitamin e capules snap it in half and rub it on the scar, that could help.

Unforantly thats life, and scars will remian, if it botheres you , you could try vitamin e cream or bio oil, or alternitavly camoflage makeup

I have done SH many times before but this was the worst ever time... i dont often do it this bad

[Ellyx]

and sorry to write twice but do scars stay bright pink, or do they fade?

Most scars fade but it does take time. You can often speed up the process by rubbing Vit E cream, cocoa butter, or Bio-oil into them but it doesn't happen over-night and you often have to have commitment to keep going with it. You can also buy scar-reduction pads from pharmacy's which are supposed to be good but they often don't stick well so have to be kept on via a bandage a lot of the time, you keep them, they take about 6months to work and they are expensive. Yet again, they may not work with everyone.

I've got scars from over a year ago that are still very noticeable so be prepared to wait.

So scars such as Keloid scars which are raised, red and grow into your skin, may take years to fade if they ever do.

even if they do fade, its likely that they will still be visible, because the extremely rarely if ever return to normal skin colour. most often they will go white after they fade from pink. can take a fair while while thought and some never do.
take care
