Hiding/Fading scars from cutting

GreenCrayon · May 23rd 2010, 5:41pm

I really do not want my family to ever find out about my cutting. I can easily tell strangers, and its not too hard telling friends but telling my family is just a definite NO.
I always wear a sweatband to hide the scars on my wrist but my parents are starting to question why I ALWAYS wear it.. even to weddings and stuff.
I mean, I guess for formal events I could wear a chunky bracelet or something but I'd really rather fade them away.

They are entirely healed.. its been over a year for these scars but they are really really white and some were deep so they are bumpy as well.
Does anyone know of a cream/oil/home remedy to fade them?

Moisturize. Any kind of lotion will do, though you can find special scar lotion at the store.

Until they've faded try putting make-up on them.

bio oils good, and if you try some and it doesn't work try a different brand (don't completely give up lol)

make ups good too...

They (your parents) should just be glad you don't anymore.

Mederma works really well. They only problem is that it's super spendy. But for deeper, whiter tissue, that might be keloid tissue, which doesn't really go away. the best thing to do is to keep them mostiurized and protected from the sun.

I guess cocoa butter also works, but I've never tried it. It's way cheaper than mederma, you can get it pretty much anywhere that sells health and beauty stuff, and best of all, it smells like chocolate.

I don't know of any creams or anything like that but um, well I stopped cutting about two and a half to three years ago and mine are very faded. Like, you can't really see them unless the light is angled properly.
