Any good tips for covering up my mistake...I have only one long sleeve shirt for casual...several button down dress shirts. Kids are use to me in casual...

The cat did it won't work on this...

I guess I'm answering my own question...regular shirt with a button down dress shirt not buttoned.

Any other ideas welcome...

Hmm, that's hard. I tend to do places I can easily cover. Maybe if it's just around your wrists, you wear a bunch of bracelets to cover it, but if it goes farther up that wouldn't work. At the very least try neosporin or something to make the cuts heal a little faster. Sorry I'm not more help, if I can think of something else I will post it.

T shirt with light weight sweat shirt opened?

You reached under the metal baseboard for something and a sharp metal edge scratched your arm?

(My excuse for a hand wound)

Good luck.

what about a long sleeved shirt with a tee shirt over top? That would work if your going real casual...otherwise....perhaps....if you get real desperate go to the store and buy one of those things you would if you had carpol tunnel...you know the brace...and arm brace..you can get them at stores for like 7 bucks...and when kids ask you what happened say carpol tunnel syndrome....and that your just found out...and sometimes the brace helps the pain....and that way...you can wear it whenever you need it...and where a tee shirt only and take it off at home...but if you do do the brace dont forget to put something over top the mark cuz it might irritate alittle bit from rubbing or sweat or something
tell us what you come up with!!!

Although I dont usually visit this particular forum too often because it it a huge trigger for me I can offer you one tip.
Cover up.......I use a green cover stick from(covergirl....how ironic)blend it into the cut,or mark 'then put a base overtop and blend....the base can be in compact form or liquid.
Its not sure fire.......a shirt covering is better however it is much less noticable.......good luck Direction

i know it only can do so much, but using coverup - like the makeup, works in hiding the redness of it.
