I hate summer. I'd give anything to be able to wear a bikini or short shorts again. I have scars other places that have mostly faded but the ones on my thighs are thick and dark. I wish I didn't have to hide

Why do you feel you have to hide?

You could wear skirts and dresses. That would cover your thighs and still look cute. Or if you really wanna wear short shorts, I've read that camouflage makeup really helps cover up scars and it lasts all day.

I know how you feel. I have scars all over my body. I've gotten to the point where I'm okay with the scars on my arms and legs showing, but the ones on my chest or abdomen make me self conscious.

The scars on my wrists and lower legs have faded so much you can't see them unless you're looking for them. The ones on my thighs are dark and light in places and some are raised, super obvious. I don't wear skirts, I have dresses but they pose the same problem as the shorts. I hide because my family doesn't know about it. I'd rather not have it on display for stares and questions from people. I wish the scars would fade like the others but then I'd just want to make more
