What helps to fade scars?

Question

So unfortunately I do this thing when I get stressed or bored I pick at myself. My face especially but also my arms and legs. It's terrible because once I start it's like I can't stop and then I realize that I made a mess of myself and I feel so much shame. Needless to say, I have quite a few dark scars and want to hear ideas on what can help fade them....

Answer

This works wonders!

Answer

This is gonna sound weird, but castor oil. Believe it or not, castor oil is a stool softener (bare with me) and it's a thick oil that can be found at a lot of stores. I was bitten by a horse at the age of 15 and it took out a chunk of skin. Months later with a hideous scar, I was out dress shopping. When the lady working asked if I liked the dress, I told her I loved it, but it showed off my scar. She told me about the oil, she used it on her scars after a car accident. About four months using it I could see a huge difference, plus it's only about $2 instead of pricey scar creams, so if it doesn't show amazing results you're not out much money.

Answer

It's called dermatillomania I have it too. There are lots of options just have to find out what works best with your body and skin. Walmart brand scar gel worked the best for me and it was cheap.

This is what my legs look like right now 😢

Answer

I find coco butter helps and my mom swears by it. Vitamin E oil is also common and fairly effective. They'll still mostly be there, but not nearly as bad.
