Triggering (SI) - red cross

[take my hand]

errrrrrrr this isnt totally triggering or needing suport - but im confused by the new system and airing on caution.....

was at the red cross today (british thing) at the camoflage clinic - i know darkducky went - but that was ruin i think - and havent seen much on about the clinic since so i thot id post

they were realy quick efficient, freindly, didnt ask probing questions and acted like it was all natural - matched my skin tone up and wrote me a prescriton for cover creme whihc was all cool - id recommend them

on a perosnal note - whoa what head ****age has today been - i asked to be referred and i needed/ wanted to cover up -( work related) but argh was kinda excited about the possibitly kinda omg ive been self harming for over a decade the idea of the scars just not being there - oddly terifying - their like part of your skin, at one point i think my identity was just that i cut you know.... and now its soo much more - but theres this weird "loss" sesne and yet this wooo the possibilty of wearing a bikini and going swimming - head is all over the shop with it.

Ive just got my appointment through for that clinic today. How good is the cover up? Im wondering how they are going to cover up deep red scars,. How easy does the stuff come off as well?

hi everlong...

i have thick raised red scar tissue (keloids) and altho they cant flatten the bumps they can cover the colouration of the scars, and blend it to take ur eye away from it - i can still see them but i took a friend along and she couldnt she the covered ones - so works quite well - going to go pick up my script today and play with it

as for coming off - u can swim, change clothes etc and it stays put - it was fine in the shower, but u have to gently pat ur skin instead of rubbing with a towel - if u scrub it will shift - otherwise u need quite thick creme to get it off - they told me to use nivea to remove it

hope ur appnt goes well
