Hi :~)

My name is Amy and I am new to this website. I have stayed away from self harm for 4 years and I am proud of that. However, while I do not physically hurt myself anymore, I still feel the repercussions of it every day. I am extremely self-conscious of my scars and wish, like many others, that they could just magically go away. Recently, the feeling of embarrassment and shame has flared up for me. I am trying to pursue a job (I won't disclose the occupation due to the possibility of it coming back to bite me in the ass) that doesn't allow for any history of "self-mutilation". It's basically my only dream right now. Before I can obtain this job, I must pass a medical exam. I'm fearful that during this exam, my scars will be found and I will be permanently disqualified. I have no back-up plans ready at the moment, and I would hate to disappoint both my family and myself. Now, I am scrambling to find ways to hide my scars. While I stumbled upon this website accidentally in my crusade to find scar remedies/creams, I think I will stay because this seems like such a great idea for recovery. It's nice to find a place where people won't judge you. Thanks if you read this! Happy recoveries, and I hope you all have a nice day.

Welcome to the community
Best of luck with the exam. I used mederma for surgical scars. That was a decade ago though, so there has to be better topical agents out there. And I guess there is always foundation.
Best of luck
