In reply to Covering up bad SI scars - Dermablend??, posted by mcd on March 23, 2003, at 21:48:23
> Hi, I've been lurking for a long time so I thought I'd come out of hiding with a question. I hope this is the right board. I cut and burned my arms very seriously for twenty years, and ever since that time, have never worn short sleeves at work, and only recently have done so outside of work when with very close friends who know, and then only when it's so hot there's really no other alternative. I'm getting so sick of not being able to wear spring and summer clothes to work (always long sleeves or sweaters). Even if I wear the 3/4 length sleeves, the cuts on my wrists still show. They are very white scars which no makeup I've tried will cover.
