These work really well to minimize the appearance of scars. Also, maybe check out r/SkincareAddiction.

I want to believe Kitty felt terrible about hurting you, but I know better. Glad everything worked out for you two, though.

They look like the scar "gel" pads you can buy in the first aid/bandaid sections of most stores (I've purchased from Target, Wal-mart, Walgreens, etc). They're a little pricey but reusable and I like to cut them up into tiny pieces to cover individual spots.

Silicone scar sheets are supposed to be helpful:

Ok, so first off, stop digging at your feet with an exact-o knife. That's like using a chainsaw to cut drywall.

If you need to physically remove calluses and dead skin, get the right tool for the job: a pumice stone and/or callus rasp/callus shaver. Use these carefully, especially around areas where you've got cuts.

To help the dry parts of your feet heal, moisturize! Silicone/gel socks feel weird (it's like walking on rubber duckies) and make my feet sweaty, but they've done more to soften gnarly calluses than anything else I've ever tried, especially when used regularly and for several hours at a time. (If you aren't afraid of girly colors, there are plenty of other/cheaper options for these on Amazon.) When you aren't wearing the socks, use a lotion or cream like Working Feet or Cerave Foot Cream. Also, ALWAYS wear socks (just like normal cotton socks) when you aren't wearing the silicon socks.

You can also do a foot soak, either with just water, or water plus some bath salts or foot soak stuff. Silicon scar sheets or hydrocolloid bandages might also help with some of the deeper/open cuts you have.

Combine those for several weeks, probably in the order of foot soak, callus shave, moisturize + socks, then more moisturizer after removing, and I'd think you'd see a lot of improvement.

The babyfoot thing is also a good idea for you, but I wouldn't recommend using that until all of your cuts/open wounds have healed. I think the peels are basically acid, and that's probably very painful if you use it on open cuts.

If all of that fails, go see a doctor or podiatrist. Your feet are super important, and if the above interventions aren't helping, I think that's a strong sign your feet need some professional help to get them healed up.

You can read a little about the science of snail mucin here. The article she links on burns mentions open wound management, so my instinct is that it would help heal fresh burns by providing additional moisture, but I don't think it would have a significant effect on older ones. Some people have reported success with ScarAway silicone sheets, but again, it might just work for newer burns. If it's a mature scar, I think the best bet is probably a fractional laser, or if it's pretty deep, a plastic surgeon. Nothing will really "cure" a burn scar and I wouldn't expect the snail mucin to have a noticeable difference. But hey, I don't think it would hurt?

My baby sister had very invasive back surgery (at 16 -- not a good time to feel different) and she wore these patches on her scars and they helped tremendously.

They're expensive, but it made her thick, purple surgical scar fade to a soft, nude color. The texture is better too: much less noticible.

Oh, dang :( Sorry to hear that! Silicone sheets seem to be the cheapest treatment--maybe give those a shot?

I used these on some scars on my neck and they worked pretty well. You basically put them over your scars like band-aids and the silicone on them fades and heals them. I only wore them for about a month, twelve hours a day and skipping some, but they made a pretty good difference on my scars.

Your skincare routine looks pretty good. Looking at your pictures, it does appear that your acne had cleared up for the most part. I'd really advise against using accutane as it won't help your condition. The inflammation on your skin appear to be PIE, not PIH, so chemical exfoliants like BHA and AHAs will have limited effect. At this point in time, there are only two viable methods of treating PIE: vascular lasers (e.g. v-beam, pulse dyed lasers) and perhaps silicone sheets. According to anecdotal accounts, keeping your skin hydrated also seem to helped PIE fade faster. Outside of that, the only thing you can do is have patience and time.

>I went to a dermatologist and he told me to just wait, even though i’ve waited for 3 yrs.

Wow, what a helpful and informative professional who doesn’t waste his patient’s time /s

A picture could be helpful, but does it look like post inflammatory erethmya to you? When you apply pressure to the area does the redness temporarily dissapear?

First daily sunscreen can prevent any more damage to the area while you try to treat it. PIE occurs when damage is done to the capillaries. Youtube Video by a dermatologist who works hands on to cure his patients redness If you don’t want to do anything that major the acne.org website has a really nice page talking about what at home treatment options tend to help their members. One of the treatments mentioned on the page are silicone sheets and I must say they seem like a popular choice I have seen quite a bit of anecdotal evidece else where online that these are very helpful. Example

I think any brand works, something like these

So this is a link to some on Amazon. I found some generic ones at the drugstore in the wound care isle for much cheaper. I don't remember the exact price but I can't imagine I would have paid more than $10. The box I have says they are washable and reusable for up to 7 straight days. Says it also works on acne scars, stretch marks and burns. I'm not sure about all that but it looks like it will at least keep that skin from folding over if you're worried about lines.

Turtlenecks and higher necklines are a super pretty fashion statement, and you can keep the scar covered with a scar reducing bandage (https://www.amazon.com/ScarAway-Professional-Silicone-Treatment-Packaging/dp/B001AJ4L1E) at the same time to prevent it from catching.

Look for sleeveless turtlenecks too - tops and even dresses (https://m.venus.com/viewproduct.aspx?BRANCH=7~72~&clearance=1&ProductDisplayID=42861&clr=KH&sc=XWEBGPF18FS&cm_mmc=PLA-_-Google-_-UN-_-BKT_M&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhaOCj9ja2QIVCIN-Ch2PeQ5ZEAQYAiABEgLfuPD_BwE)

Consult with your doctor first, but i would focus more on caring for your scars for the long term than hiding them in the short term. Take care of the scars so they heal more thoroughly. Things like scar away work pretty dang well (but are expensive because of the size of top surgery scars.

Scar Away on Amazon

I have scars from deep cuts I did when I was younger. They are one of my biggest regrets. While they are still healing clean with a gentle soap and water and use butterfly bandages to close the gaps. After they’re healed and don’t have scabs anymore use these. This will help prevent them from scarring like this. (don’t click if you don’t want to see scars.)

Also try getting her to talk to someone. Fixing herself is the only way she’ll stop.

I just checked on amazon, they run the same (though what seems like a similar deal also goes for $31 and $75?!?!?! That's what I was thinking of when I first saw your post).

Is that due to the lack of the frenulum? I assumed if the skin gets loose enough, if pushed over the front of the head it would just stay as it were, at least when flaccid. Either way, this seems to have nothing but positive benefits. I'm going to go for around an hour of manual tugging per day, coupled with low-intensity tape holding the foreskin just over the glans for as long as I can each day, along with a manhood, until I can keep it covered on its own (I heard it helps with keeping the tape in place anyways.

Someone on a youtube thread recommended me this tape. Would this be a good choice?

http://www.amazon.com/ScarAway-Professional-Silicone-Treatment-Sheets/dp/B001AJ4L1E/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1463362764&sr=8-1&keywords=scar+awayThey

It looks kind of wide, but maybe that's a good thing. I could always cut it if I had to. Maybe it would help with glans scarring too, since it is scar reduction tape.

Whoa, glad you are doing better. Those are no joke.

Removal... I don't know, they're fairly large and involved. Since they're newish, you could try keeping everything heavily moisturized with some quality cocoa butter, or try silicon sheeting. There's been some studies pointing to scar improvement with silicon, but I have no personal experience with them.

In time, the deep purple will fade, and they will become less noticeable.

A tattoo might help, but I would splurge on a good artist. I don't think scar tissue holds ink as well as normal skin.

Dating? They wouldn't bother me.

Apparently the gels and creams do not work any better than petroleum jelly in clinical trials. The silicone sheets do work, though, but they're kind of a pain to use. There is a generic name for this type of scar covering, but I do not remember what it is.

There are special silicone bandages that supposedly help prevent scar formations. https://www.amazon.com/ScarAway-Professional-Silicone-Treatment-Packaging/dp/B001AJ4L1E

I think it's very brave of you for wanting to address this.

I don't have any advice that hasn't already been given, but there are products that can help fade your scars. There is also laser therapy if you have a greater budget.

Definitely look into the tattoo policy at your workplace and see if it would be allowed. If you're comfortable covering the tattoo, and it means so much to you, I don't see any reason not to get it. Just remember to see a tattooist who has worked around scar tissue before.

I'm a big proponent silicone scar sheets/tape like these

or the Nexcare brand ones, combined with daily use of vitamin E oil and sunscreen. (My husband was struck by a car a few years ago, I learned to deal with the surgical incisions, road rash, and other wounds from his surgeon)
I hope that helps!

Link for the lazy. My son had arthroscopic hip surgery in November and the scars look terrible, despite regular use of vitamin e oil. Maybe he'll want to try this too.

There are really effective things you can purchase at any Walmart or major pharmacy like Walgreens. There is a product called "scar away". Its basically like a reusable bandaid. The adhesive is gentle on your skin. Basically you place the middle of the tap over the opening tip of your foreskin with the two halves of the tape adhering to your skin. This will keep the skin from rolling back behind your glans, potentially even during an erection. Its usually around 15$ for a box of like 20 strips, but they are re useable if you wash them in warm water so that's enough for over a year. Here is what the box looks like on amazon, but you can buy it at any Walmart. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001AJ4L1E?aaxitk=l7eRQzCWBi4tY285cEYgEQ&pd_rd_i=B001AJ4L1E&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=3507616222&pd_rd_wg=9N2dj&pf_rd_r=RFP8GRPH3AFQ3NVWPQ0J&pf_rd_s=desktop-sx-top-slot&pf_rd_t=301&pd_rd_w=pkzWJ&pf_rd_i=scar%2Baway&pd_rd_r=b1216953-4e3f-4684-a761-211ce56e9618&hsa_cr_id=3435781320701&th=1
