Hi Betenoire, how are you now? Have you heard of skin camouflage? In UK there is a charity that helps people use it to hide scars, whatever the reason, it's the kind of make up actors use to reproduce things like scars or age someone. It's waterproof and you can shower or swim and it stays on one to four days depending where it needs to be and how much it gets rubbed in normal life. I use it on my arms an stomach and it helps me feel much better about exposing my arms, scars can be almost invisible and peopl no longer look twice. Best wishes
