Is there a way to fade scars fast?

[Anonymous]

I suffer depression and a year ago I went through a really hard period of time and I started to cut my thigh, not terribly deep but the scars are noticeable. I thought they might fade by now, the ones on my arm did when I was cutting years ago.
I think the skin on a persons thighs takes a lot longer to fade scars than an arm, depending on how deep.. but want to know if there's anything I can to help fade them faster? I can't wear shorts or swim without long shorts.. deeply regret doing it, but I did so.. any advice?

Those scars won't go away. My sister used to cut herself and she has a scar "FTW" on her leg, it is still visibly there after 9 years. When people ask, she just says it is "Friday the Weekend" or "Friday the Win". It will get better and less noticeable with time but they will not fully go away.

There might be solution with dermatologist but I never looked into that.

As a sad teenagers I cut my arms, eight years later I still have them. A year later, just like you, I was freaked out because they wouldn't fade away. I just learned to accept it. It sucks but it's the way it is.

Make a dermatologist appointment.
There are lots of creams on the market that claim to reduce the appearance of scars but they are gimmicks ,
I think you would be better off making an appointment and getting a prescription from someone who has experience in this field.

scars are forever. im not sure how long it will take to fade but your scars heal at their own rate. I don't know any remedies to make them heal faster.

Castor Oil does it. But you have to put it on everyday. Dr Mercola sell these packs you put on the scarred skin.

Scars anywhere on the body never fully fade

i mean to make them less noticeable

You can't make them less noticeable. Scars are meant to act as a reminder of not doing that something again
