I was worried about summer too, since this winter/spring is when I cut the worst. I think that my scars seem more noticable to me because I know that they are there. Not that I should ever do it, but sometimes when I really feel like it I wish it was long sleeve weather. (By the way, I would not recommend the lower abdomen, it doesn't show, but it was "creepy") Sorry, I "slipped up" just recently. Just to let you know, I know how you feel. HUGS!
