Scars?

[Sunshowers]

hey oh my gosh I cant believe I found this site. i thought I was the only one in the world with this!!!
Im 15 and a girl so of course theres all this pressure to look good and i tear up the skin on my face, back (im flexible) and ankle. It feels so good until im done, and I had never heard of anyone having this but i had heard of trichtillomania..
anyway I have a lot of embarassing scars and people ask what happened. they think im a cutter because i cant come up with a good excuse. does anyone know a good way to heal up scars? will the ones on my face heal in time or be there forever?

Scars do fade over time. Try to drink lots of good water and limit bad stuff, use natural moisturizers and limit sun damage. I like Aloe Vera and sesame oil. I have heard that the scar patches work well for some people But the main thing you should do is figure out why you pick at yourself and find other things to do. Look around the different web pages for ideas.

i am 15 too! IT SUCKS!!! i totally understand where you are coming from. wait for summer. That's when you can usually get by with "i got bitten by a lot of misquitos." Unfortuneately you can't get by with that now. I'm trying to get rid of my scars too. It's so hard. I tried Mederma, but you have to apply it 4 freaking times a day and it takes up to 3 months for the scars to go away. I kept forgetting so I gave up on that. Now we are looking into laser scar removal, but that may make things worse. You never know. Good luck to you! It sucks.
