Embarrassment of old scars?

1 Answer

Answer :

Either you cover them up, or you get more comfortable in your own skin. There are products like Mederma that can help minimize them, but it sounds to me like you are a major survivor of some very dificult situations. If you could see them as a badge of honor, a sign of your overcomming spirit, maybe you would see how shallow those who tease you are and know that you are stronger, and braver than most.
