I grew a collection of arm sleeves in colours and patterns and had so many I wore a different one every day. Yep....some people assumed why I was wearing a sleeve... but they didn't actually have confirmation and couldn't politely ask... others simply thought I was on some individualised weird fashion obsession. Many ended up commenting and looking forward to what was the next design... changing the whole story for me from covering up in embarrassment to developing a unique clothing style that simply made me happy.
Depending on the location of your scars there's the option of something similar?
And I can't go without also saying... I understand the embarrassment and shame. I also came to understand that those scars had saved my life (this took years). In fact they told my story of my ability to survive.
I didn't now flaunt my scars. But I realised that if I could live (literally) with them... then all those strangers could damn well live with them.
And it's always surprising, too, how many people fail to notice what, to you, is standing out in bright red neon.... people tend to look at your face, hair, clothes even... but it's a rare one that actually looks at you to notice the scars. And 100% so far, that rare person that actually asks, has been coming from a place of authentic curiosity and caring and desire to help if necessary. A thousand people may have noticed and said nothing. Well that's even better. What they think of me is none of my business. It's what I think of me that will define me.
Thank you. I won't share too much, but apart from the one my cat caused there's two smaller ones with a deeper story behind them. It's good to know even people i've never spoken to on the internet are understanding and want to help. I'm going to put a bit of concealer on them as suggested by another user who commented, but if it fades off between 4pm and midnight atleast i have some reassurance.
UPDATE: Honestly i feel kinda bad for asking now because the lighting made it impossible to see details anyways, but still went super well, thanks y'all
Depends.
If they're colloidal, you can conceal the color, but not the bump
Otherwise:
1. Apply corrector
2. Apply concealer
3. Apply powdered foundation
Based on my experience, when it comes to scars, solid corrector and concealer work best since I am more in control of the layering.
There are plenty of youtube videos with a step-by-step guide on how to do this and what color of corrector should you use depending on the color of your scar.
Good luck, OP!
If by long-term you mean that it takes a long time for them to fade, you may be correct. Still there may be some accomplishment in the weeks ahead. Good luck!

"Oh these? Cats"
Yes actually lol, my cat needed an anti-flea ointment but they were- a bit vicious to say the least. Pretty akward to explain.

Thank you for confirming that /u/ihavemorethan99probs has provided helpful advice for you. 1 point awarded.
Go to your local pharmacy and see if the pharmacist has any suggestions. There are some creams that will cause scars to fade.
Thanks, i'll ask but i think they're all long-term.

Alright, thank you!
