Where are they that they can't be covered up? Hmm... bracelets for wrists, long sleeves for arms, long pants for thighs/legs, etc.

I think that the hardest thing I have trouble hiding is my ankle because pant legs lift and shoes come off, and its not like i'm wearing stockings. For that area, I tend to cover it with a cheap eye shadow. I use a light gold shimmer to kind of blend it (also depends on your skin tone) so it doesn't look "masked". Also, depending on the size, a simple bandaid (available in different sizes) usually doesn't get any attention (most people don't say "hey what's under that bandaid?).

I have learned that depending on how fresh the wound, its almost less obvious when I don't cover it up. For instance, bracelets tend to draw more attention to my wrist than just wearing the open wound or a bandaid/pulling my sleeves down because I don't usually wear bracelets.

Also, i make my biggest effort not to cut in visible areas, but I do understand that sometimes its just not that easy (or in my case i realize after the fact that its more visible than I thought). Good luck! *hugs*
