I've got loads of scars on my shoulders, upper legs and stomach and quite a few fresh wounds. How can I cover them up? Today, in PE at school, when I had to get changed one of the girls looked over and me and stared at my cuts for ages and it made me even more self concious about them than I normally are. I used bio-oil on scars to help them, but theres still fresh cuts to cover... any ideas?

I know it says not to use bio oil on open wounds. ignore it. ive used bio oil on open cuts before and it turns them to a scar in a week and fades days after.
if your self concious abut them.. dont cut anymore? or if you wont stop find a spot where people wont see them? i dont say you should keep cutting you should stop for you cause you dont deserve it but upper thigh is rarely seen, or your hip.
if you ever wanna talk im here :D

Bio oil, coca butter, coca butter lotion, vitamin e oil, vitamin-B tabs [pretty sure thats the one that produces more cells so new skin layers appear sooner than later].

too many to hide over hear, i said fuck it awhile ago.

I used to wear an undershirt like guys do instead of a cami, like one that has sleaves and put it under ur shirt so even when u change it doesnt show ur shoulders, and spandex under ur pants, like bike shorts or the ones they wear in vollyball that way no one can see ur thighs, hope that helps
