thats what im most scared of.
If they're still cuts then they should heal on their own as long as you don't pick them or anything. There may be some scars which are unavoidable. Maybe go to your doctor or ask a chemist what creams or anything could help?
they are scars now. most of them are about 4-6 months old now.
there are some options still available. there are temporary treatments, like colagen injections, gel pads etc, and there are very expensive permenent options, like laser surgery. Either way I doubt they will ever fade completely, they'll probably still be mild.
I have a scar across my cheek which is fairly visible to everyone, and the weirdest thing is I don't know how I did it... It could have been my cat while I was sleeping. Anyway there's nothing I've done about it and it seems to fade a lickle when you use a moisturising soap, it kind of blends it into your skin.
Good luck.
Scares naturally fade in time; my scars are mostly white now. But it does depend on depth, width and how they heal. My scars are faded, but they scarred as welts so are noticeable. Though nto all of them are, some of the smaller ones are hardly noticeable.
They wont disappear completely, but as a general rule they wont be glaringly obvious if they are small scars, such as on the wrists. If you sliced your arms open then perhaps they will be.
and the scar on my head is still very clear, i did that 13 years ago. then again the bone behind it is all messed up haha. trust me to smack my head on the fireplace at 3 years old...
oeer i think i just remembered it a little bit.
I also heard about using Vitamin E drops kind of stuff or the cream.
