Get rid of scars?

Question

I've had scars on my legs for about two years now...upper thighs on the inside, and some on my hips.

i want to get rid of them...i know what i did, and i was just dealing...but i don't want to deal with the bs i'll get from my family.

i want to wear shorts again, or wear a swimsuit and feel good about myself physically...not hide so much.

i haven't cut for about a year, and the ones on my legs are about two years old.

kind of faded, but you can tell i did it because there are these harsh lines and some are still indented on my skin.

how can i get rid of them? fast maybe?

thank you.

Answer 1

vitamin e oil is the main ingredient in most of the scar creams, and it's the part that works, so just buy the pure oil and rub it on a few times a day - depending on how big the scars are, it'll still take a little time, but they will fade away

until then, for swimming, you could try board shorts:

also, they're probably much more noticeable to you than to anyone else - it's amazing what people don't see if they're not looking

Hi.
Funny thing is, I have the same problem. I gained a lot of weight due to a thyroid problem and i have them on my underarms, breast, stomach and legs. I tried everything possible cocoa butter, maderma, etc and nothing worked until I found Beauticontrol.

Beauticontrol is a lot like Avon or even Mary Kay but the difference is this is dermotologist strength stuff! I have seen an increase in results and I have only been using it for a month. My scars were dark red and thick now they are barely visible.

This is my consultants page and it's great!

Nothing will work within 2 weeks, trust me. I have a few scars from various accidents, but the only thing that helps is mederma, it lightens scars, but takes a long time to work. With new scars it will take 4-6 weeks, with old scars it will take 8-12 weeks. If it works.

Answer 4

they have some products out such as

bio oil
bioskinrepair
some claim Vitamin E ( article below)
Scar guard

more invasive would be collagen or some sort of filler.
I hope you find this information helpful. Remember Real beauty is on the inside. I know it's easy for me to say. Although I do have some scars on my face from my cat:( bad kitty

take care and stay strong

Answer 5

i hope you have learned you lesson.. please talk to an adult if you need help in anyone

take care of yourself and stay strong

Answer 6

I dont think there is a natural way to get rid of them fast unless you get some expensive surgury, but the over the counter cream "cocoa butter" supposedly reduces scaring over time. You should rub it on every day. It is somewhat sticky, so it might be uncomfortable to put on right before bed, as your sheets will stick to your legs.

Answer 7

vitamin e oil, rub it on them. usually works well in the begining...might be to long a time now... hopefully you've learned that hurting yourself does not hurt anyone but you. Talk to an adult about your feelings. It's really important, my ex boyfriend was a cutter. Be strong!
