Is my salt and ice challenge scar permanent? I've tried everything to get rid of it (Photo)

Asked By:Khy.d in Carlingford, AU

Unfortunately 2 months ago i attempted the salt and ice challenge on multiple places on my arm. And since then the scar has healed but is still extremely embarrassing. Ive hid it from my dad by wearing long sleeve for the past two months which has been extremely difficult. Doing the challenge is definitely the biggest regret of my life and it has given me depression, in the morning i don't want to get out of bed and at night i can't sleep.
