Getting rid of arm scars from self harm

Hello, I realize this is a very old thread, but if anyone sees this I need a reply.. My dad has found cuts on my calf, and I've been trying to get rid of them, as I don't want the rest of my family to see them as well. They have now become light pink scars, and I have been using vitamin e oil every single day.. But I can't wear shorts in gym, and I can't wear capris outside, and I can't wear baggy pyjamas.. Please help.. I need a solution that doesn't cost a lot.. Because I just don't want my dad worrying anymore.. And I want him happy again.. I need him to feel secure that I won't hurt myself.. I need them goneee!! Please help me!

"scars are tattoos with better stories" -unknown author im posting in hopes that this thread can become active again with advice and encouragement. i personally am looking for relief from the itching and pain some of my scars produce when touched (even just from air/water movement across them). however, my scars are almost completely located on my upper right thigh (with the exception of one on each wrist, which i chose to have tattooed to camouflage them- i got inked over a decade ago and am still loving this solution: but only for this specific location on my body). they vary in ages from 10+ years old to embarrassingly younger ones. the older have flattened out and lost redness, but those in the more recent years (1-3 years old) are raised, red, sensitive to touch, and very friggin stubborn. ive tried all the OTC creams, gels, oil, and other solutions ranging from mederma to insanely expensive serums; all resulting with no relief from the itching, fading in color nor smoothing out. surgery is not an option, financially, for me at this time; also, i would much prefer an organic remedy. i would be lying if i said the appearance of them was not a concern of mine (beach season is returning so fast it seems), but i hope to develop that strange "pride" some enlightened souls have found in their scars (easier said than done). my biggest concern is how to "desensitize" the scars that cause the most physical discomfort... have a good tip? fire away! thank you in advance, and also a thanks to all those who have had the courage to share their personal stories on here! .namaste.

Anyone here aware of invicible scars? I want to try it on my injury scars. Heard it works great. Please let me know your views

such a nice forum, and great reference ( I am also starting my own blog about scar treatments) thank you for the information.

cheers!

Read my blog for the best [URL=http://removescarsnow.com/]scar treatment methods[/URL] you will ever learn.

Excutter hasn't looked into every option. If your scars are flat, white lines there is micropigmentation available; permanent makeup that blends the scars in with the surrounding skin tone. It is very costly though, if you want it done right.

The cost depend where you will do it and type of. Laser used and number of. Scars treated, my daughter had 50 scars and with Lorena using a. Cosmatic center treatment, it cost 280 pound per session, a medical oriented center will be higher in cost.
All center can do for your age if a referral report from a physician is with you, but if you have only one scar you can either use a comaflage makeup use a hair fixing spray to fix the makeup if you don't find that type or. Use permenant ink with stencil to draw a tatoo daily just for that vacation, enjoy yourself

who ever is reading this please reply i am going on holiday in a couple of weeks and i have lots of white scars from when i cut my self i only did it once but i am only a teenager and i havent wore a short sleeve top since and i have moved school and no one knows about it and i dont want them to so i have to wear a undertop in pe and i really need some suggestion on how to get them to go away PLEASE HELP xx

It's easy to say don't be ashamed of your scars, but the shame is difficult to overcome. I have scars from 8 years ago and I'm still embarrassed to this day. A couple of years ago I sought laser treatment but it was going to cost about 600 per session. I also went to a different cosmetic surgical and dermatological center to find out my options. The doctor laughed at me and said there is nothing I can do for you. He also said how bout just cut the other arm to make yours arms match. Yes this came from a medical professional, I wish i could say this is a lie. And I also wish I could find a treatment to reduce them that works. If anyone has had success I'd love to hear it.

Since I'm left-handed, pretty much my whole right arm is covered with them, including one very large one which sent me to the ER - which was a cutting relapse accident over a decade ago. Are they unsightly? Yes. Do I sometimes which I could get rid of the large gash scar? Yes. Do I want them all removed? NO! Every time I feel bad about myself, I can look at them, and remember just how far I've come. Of a struggle I overcame. They can be a comfort and inspiration to me and in a strange way, I'm proud of them. If others can't handle them, that's their problem, because they are part of my history, and shaped the person I am today. Like the scars themselves, I've healed and grown stronger. Why should I hide or cover that up?

i am in the cosmetic field, i am giving advice based on experience not trial , but in a professional hand it should work and get great success, there is a branch dermatology called cosmetic tattooing which deals with scars like burns and vitiligo and accidents , they use skin colored tattoo ( beige / brown) shades) to cover an area , if used in the right combination to cover the affected skin color it should give excellent result , it may need more than one application and finding a perfect center is difficult , but its worth a try .

Hi
Wow is it painful to see others in this situation. I have very similar longer scars on my arm as you from self harming 18 years ago. For years they where raised and itchy. I found silicone strips really helped within days to flatten and turn the scars white also stopped the tingling sensation. The cheapest and best has from an English company sold on ebay, brilliant and cheap only $20 or so, apply with surgical tape at night or whenever you like, drastic improvement.
After much research I have found Fraxel laser treatment I am having the 1st of three sessions tomorrow, fingers crossed. It is pricey at $700 Aus a session but the results look good and god if I can wear short sleeves again I will be the happiest person alive after having to cover my arms for 18 years. Thankfully over that period of my life, if I only knew then how hard this shame is I would never have done it. Peace to you all living with this. I have before photos I am happy to share and hopefully in three months some good after photos, the sessions are a month apart.
I tried all the creams and bio oil they made it worse, silicone is amazing for scars, do it for a few months then look in to Fraxel.
