Do you try to hide your scars with makeup or clothing?
I have never tried to hide my scars on my arm but I could see trying to hide them on my face. How do you feel about them?
I'm not hiding my scars (on face, neck, hand, arm). Not afraid to talk about them and encourage others to ask if they're looking. 😀
love this reply. I like that you are focusing on helping others. Thank you, Jennifer.
I give hiding my scars my best efforts—especially on my face. Whenever I go buy new makeup I ask for additional tips to hide my scars. I am not ashamed that I have had skin cancer, but I take pride in my appearance. And I do not want to be asked about my scars. It’s upsetting to me to have them mentioned. And I have had it happen. I honestly don't worry about scars. Yes, I have a few small ones from cancer, but those from hip replacements are a tad larger. And the fight that I had with my table saw, my newest one from two weeks ago.
Thank you for your reply and I am glad that you don't worry about your scars and hopefully you won the fight with your table saw. Scott skincancer.net moderator
I have 10 scars from different melanomas. 3 on my face, 1 is from basil. I normally don't try to cover them up. I like to think that I am a reminder to others to protect themselves. However, if I am going to a special event, such as a wedding, i will wear makeup.
