i cant wear a skirt/dress.....
-
i haf eczema since young.. now its much better but it has left many scars and marks on my legs.. cos of that i feel so sad that i cannot wear skirts n somehow affected my self confidence alot... when i c other girls wearing skirts n nice dresses i jus feel so inferior.. to the extent where i scared ppl shun me..
is there anyway which i can remove those scars or at least lighten it?
-
there are those off-the-shelf scar lightening creams u can get at pharmacy...
beauty centres oso provide treatments but of cos more expensive.....
alternative....go get a tan to "even out" the colours.....
or can wear stockings.. -
most of those in pharmacies is for those wounds that leaves protruding scars kind.. haiz..
even out the colour cannot... it is almost dark purplish..argh.. when i c it i jus wan to cry man.. mus b i did sth bad in my past life! -
last time i oso got nasty ugly scars on my thighs all the way down to my below my knees....cos i slipped and fell on underwater rocks when i doing rafting @ Ubin......whole back of my legs scratched....
i no apply anything....jus let it heal.....then the scars fade over time.....though i wun say i have "tou fu" complexion on my legs now but the scars are not visible liao....
u can buy those scrubs to scrub away the dead skin, promote new skin growth..... -
well, no sad lah... now medical so advance, sure got something out there to help u one... go try some and see the effect.

1) Tan
2) Use creams n scrubs
3) Plastic surgery (only if u got money, but best effect of course)
4) leave it... Accept it... but if i were u.. i would try option 1 n 2 first... if got money n really serious, plastic surgery... sking grafting

Basically if you are friendly and cheerful that kind,wearing jeans or skirt is ok,because I have lots of friends and a teacher who has your case(but except hers is all over the body),I did ask my teacher,would the students think diffrently about her?
her reply was "do I need to care if the students like the way I look,I am here to teach and bond good relationships and not be a model"
Simillary,do u need ppl to look at your legs to like u? a good/true friend would not bother about your looks but only your behaviour -
ya i agree... n i noe that.. but like i say.. it does affect self confidence? anyway thanks 4 all the suggestions =)Originally posted by StarPuppy: Basically if you are friendly and cheerful that kind,wearing jeans or skirt is ok,because I have lots of friends and a teacher who has your case(but except hers is all over the body),I did ask my teacher,would the students think diffrently about her?

There r many waes to help U "get rid of" those scars. U shld NOT feel inferior juz bcoz U cant wear skirts due to da scars & marks on yr legs.Originally posted by mek:i haf eczema since young.. now its much better but it has left many scars and marks on my legs.. cos of that i feel so sad that i cannot wear skirts n somehow affected my self confidence alot... when i c other girls wearing skirts n nice dresses i jus feel so inferior.. to the extent where i scared ppl shun me..

In fact I believe gals shld wear skirts more as it compliments their style. Unless U have LONG legs, maybe U can wear jeans more than skirts, low waist jeans in particular.
BUT if yr leg aint long OR body is long, low waist jeans is NOT recommended. Looks kinda ugly. I rather U wear skirts even if have those scars. Juz apply cream will do. -

i can only help u in not getting worst.. but lighten least abit..
cetaphil contains pH6.5..
im same case as yours and now my marks are barely visible.. best is try not to scratch it or expose your legs to sun..
best is go see a doctor lor.. he will give u a cream and apply on your marks.. i think 2-3 times a day.
affordable but takes quite long to lighten it.
i took about 2 years plus to recover.
i always wear jeans when hanging out, not expose to sunlight..
use cetaphil and wash my legz.. don't go for a tan, not only it won't help in evening your marks and skin tone, it will cause you more scars and marks, and darken it.. much harder!! -
no wonder... my scars darken.. cuz i have been wearing shorts...Originally posted by ^sylvia^:i can only help u in not getting worst.. but lighten least abit..

ahhhOriginally posted by _hOnDaBabY_:no wonder... my scars darken.. cuz i have been wearing shorts... *sayang sayang*
wear shorts ok la.. but try to walk under shades or when riding bike, try not to expose your legs.. i know very hot, mi myself also feel this way.. but im lady, must protect my skin
u can try some repairing cream, enhance skin renewal system.. then whiten it. hope it do works on your darkened scars.. aga your scars not very 'old' la.. -
