So in high school I was a nerd, and always changing what I wanted to be like. Because of this I went through a whole bunch of phases; my hippie phase, post-grunge phase, ect. These would usually go along with change in music, hair, clothes, ect.

Well, one of the stages I went through(about 3 months, after a breakup) was a ridiculous gothic industrial stage. During this stage I slashed up my arms pretty good with a NIN cut design on one arm, and a celtic maze on the other. Of course I realized how fucking stupid this was and dropped that stage quick. However, unlike letting my hair growing out, or getting new clothes I couldn't get new arms.

So now I'm in college (4 years passed) and I have to wear long sleeves all the time because of my goddamn arms. I'm wondering if any Anon could give me advice for scar removal. I'm willing to get laser treatment, but I've heard its pretty expensive and I'm broke now so I need a more immediate/temporary solution until I can get the cash for that.

How about Mederma? I've heard a lot of good things about it, but also shit reviews as well. Another one would be Vitamin-E rubbed into the skin. What does /fit/ think about these? Could I combine the two? I could just say, "fuck it," and tattoo over them, but I'd rather not have any tattoos either. Does Anon have any better suggestions?

Also, in before massive trolling, fuck even I kind of want to troll this thread

Vitamin-E is cheap. I have a 50/50 success rate with it, so it wouldn't hurt to try.

Also, my plan is to take the best solutions that I can find and try the top two, one on each arm. Then see which arm heals better in a couple of months. I have one scar on my lower arm thats small enough to just be from an accident, but still is the same depth (they're not real deep) and color that I'll use as a control to monitor the progress of the two competing on each arm.

Also, I forgot to mention i tried using Neosporin scar patches and they can suck my dick.

This is why I lol at all the trendy fags getting gauged ears. Give them a couple years to grow out of the stupid, but their ears will still having gaping holes that they can't hide.

Scarring that extensive is probably going to require plastic surgery. Expensive or not that's likely the only cure.

Replace your arms with chainsaws.

Pro-tip: Once your dermis (original skin cells) are destroyed at their deepest level, they cannot be reproduced by your own body and can only be replaced by scar tissue. Even if Vitamin E could magically stimulate regrowth of skin, it can't penetrate the subdermal layer by way of a cream or salve.

tl;dr Learn to live with your mistakes. I suggest turtlenecks

scar revision surgery is fairly quick and easy, if you can afford it.

or you could just get a tattoo over the scars!

man that's a fucking sad story

you have serious identity and impulse issues, it is facile and disingenuous to call them "stages".

Well Anon, I never cut that deep. The dermis goes all the way down to the fatty tissue, which I never went far enough to hit. Therefor I think they could still be removed/healed to some extent. Any more suggestions on scar removal treatment?

Cut the parts that aren't cut til it all looks the same.
