Self harm scars
i have self harm scars on my arms ive stopped~!i havnt done it in 2 months!!but im wondering could i ever beome a model with the scars..its my dream
Answer:Good job on stopping! I am sure that was difficult.
Angelina Jolie supposedly cut herself and she doesn't have scars. (I am not sure why?). Scars heal in time. I used to have them on my legs when I was in elementary.middle school and they completely went away. But, you can try to lessen them a few ways.
Exfoliate your skin every 2-3 days, then apply a moisturizer to help heal your skin. I have never tried Merderma (the scar cream) but I have heard mixed results. Some say it works good, some say it doesn't work. Cocoa butter is supposedly good for scars, too.
Also, have you tried to use a self-tanner to even our your skin tone? That works well. I have some new scars and I use self-tanner and even out my skin.
There are also some other treatments out there, but I just don't know if they work. I bought BIO-OIL on ebay--it supposedly helps scars fade, but it didn't work for me. I have heard other people say it worked though?!?! I wasn't so good at putting it on my skin as much as they say too, though...so that could be why?
good luck!
Modeling is a stressful line of work, but you can be anything you want to be.
