hey
do any of you have experience of bio oil on self harm scars?
does it work? how long does it take?
is there anything else any one has used?
thanks!

hey, im using it at the moment on sh scars. it really depends on the scar, i have noticed that they healed over quickly but the colour change is pretty slow, mine are still dark pink. i think it would depend on the size of the scar. and err, i really like the smell!
ok it claims to help the appearance of scars
i will give them a try
unfortunatly cant buy anything off the internet without parents finding out which isnt an option tbh!
I used Bio Oil for a few months and it helped to reduce the reddness and swolen look to my scars. But if you want something better then make a drs. appointment (fake illness if you dont want to arouse concern from your parents) and tell them you would like to try a steriod cream. It worked really well for me and even made the skin smooth (no grooves or raised marks or discolouration).
I hope this helps, well done on stopping cutting though =D You should be really proud of yourself. xx Goodluck.
You wont be able to fully get rid of the marks no matter what you do so a massive thing is to learn to accept it.
im a bit scared by 'going to occur', ye ok?? but yeah! it seems pretty all purpose actually. stretch marks as well as scars.
too scared to go doctors cus they would tell my parents or make me get treatment i should think?
where would i get facial redness remover?
can i buy steriod cream without a doctors appmnt?
