I feel like my scars are nerfing me

[lana_bckwardz]

A lot of my scars are very prominent, raised and redish/pinkish in colour (despite the majority being over a year old) and i feel as if they are the first thing that people notice about me. I’m not sure what i can do about this, and it upsets me to know that my skin will never be perfect and clear as desired.

I do not harm myself anymore and have been clean since december of 2025 - but these marks serve as a constant reminder to me, and i feel as though they are a testament to just how undesirable i am.

I would really appreciate any advice on how to remedy this

i have the exact same problem, i’ve tried using silicone tape for them and bio oil but they really didn’t change much i think the only thing u can do is wait for them to fade on their own

I'm dealing with the same thing too I usually wear long sleeves to cover them up to avoid ppl asking questions. I wanted to do scar removal treatment but idk how much that's gonna cost

Microneedling 0.2mm-0.5mm once or twice per week, tretinoin 0.05% 4 times per week, heavy moisturizing sunscreen every day.

Consider 2 or 3 years of regular use to see satisfying results

Sillicon tape and bio-oil are more efficient for stretch marks, not really scars from cuts/surgeries. For strech marks laser therapy seems to be the best
