I have a ton of scars on my back and legs from going camping as a child. But now that I'm older, I've grown out of that tom boy stage, but I have all these scars that make me feel .. unattractive in dresses/skirts?
I've tried Mederma, but it's nothing to help fade them, it's just made them smoother.
you can get laser treatment stuff for them. when my friend used to self harm she got really bad scars and now shes doing laser treatment from her doctor for it
Old scars from childhood cannot be faded or healed from over the counter oils, meds or home remedies, etc. simply because its too old & has settled in your skin. Seek advice from a Dermatologist for laser treatment or Cosmetic Surgery.
Really? Even though they're not that dark? I was told because they're fairly light that I can fade them without laser treatment which is something I really don't want to use. I'll take your advice and talk to a Dermatologist.
