Hi im in year 11 and just in a couple of months I’ll be having my prom night.
I really want to go but we IV got a burnt scar on my leg and its noticeable.
Im not very confident in showing my legs, but I cant wear a long dress because im petit and it will look odd.
How can I hide them, or make it less noticeable?
Answer:
try using bio-oil till ur prom it will reduce the appearance if it hasnt totally gone by then or ur still not confident u can purchase a tin of 'spray tights' i got it from primark or a similar thing called airbrush legs from asda, just spray it all over ur legs both come out really even and cover up any marks and scars.
hope i helped and have a good night.xx
Answer:
You can make those scars invisible by using this topical treatment from Zenmed called Scars and Hyperpigmentation treatment kit. It works very well for erasing stubborn scar marks in a few weeks time. I had used it for my daughters chicken pox scars and within a month those marks had disappeared from her body.
The active ingredients of this product are healing Aloe Vera, Green Tea and Cucumber. All 3 blend well together to create a gentle exfoliant which works by peeling off the upper layer of the skin and expose new skin which is beneath. This action helps in getting rid of scar marks as well as sun spots, sun burns, aging lines and fine lines. It's also good to use in order to restore your damaged skin tissues which could have happened due to sickness or hormonal changes.
Answer:
Coco butter will work over time not in a day though.
Try covering it up with make up or just come to terms with it.
That's unfortunate but just be confident and try not to think about it. If its prom enjoy dancing with your friends. Generally people eat dinner then dance in a horribly lit room so chances are your legs will be under a table or in the dark dancing.
Answer:
You must try Vichy Dermablend. it is extraordinary. When i got mine i though oh my such a small pot but it is so worth it and you use so tiny of it. Lasts forever. Instead of a cream it is like a hard paste that you warm up on your hand and then you pat it on. I’ve a tattoo in black ink and it absolutely covers it. looks like i never had a tattoo. brilliant. It has been made specifically for scared skin so it will be perfect for you. Def try it - what have you got to loose
Answer:

Answer:
Where on your leg is the scar?
If it really bothers you, [it shouldn't its just a scar!] but i know how you probably feel. Try a long dress, unless your very short, i think everyone can pull them off!
If you had your heart set on a short/short[er] dress, then just a few easy makeup tips will do the trick. Try remember nobody knows it's there, and generally, nobody is going to be staring at your legs, at all, or for very long. You might still notice it, but only because your seemingly looking for it.
Step1** Go to a professional cosmetician so you can find makeup that’ll smoothly cover your scar and that matches your skin tone perfectly. You can also have a cosmetician walk you through the steps so you know how to apply your makeup, your scar is absolutely covered and the makeup looks natural. [This isn't essential, but make sure you find th correct shade, if not, you’ll make it more obvious. Even an assistant in a good makeup store can do this]
Step2** Apply a moisturizer such as vitamin-E first. Vitamin E will help soften your scar, making it easier for your makeup to blend over the scar. In addition, long-term use of vitamin E may help lessen the appearance of the scar.
Step3 **Place a liquid concealer over the top of your scar. Start with a tiny bit gently blending it into the scar; you can always add more later. It doesn't matter if this doesn't match your skin tone perfectly because you're going to cover it with other makeup. If your scar is fairly light, feel free to skip this step.
Step4** Blend your foundation or makeup designed to cover scars, such as Dermacolor into the concealer or into the scar using your fingertips or a sponge. Again, begin with a small amount and add more if needed. If the scar is on your face, make sure the foundation is carefully mixed into the rest of your make-up.
Step5 ** Dust a light coat of powder over your scar. This will help set the make-up, and make it less shiny and obvious.
