My mom keeps suggesting different medicines to get rid of my scars is that on one hand I do want them gone I don't like the way people look at me with them and how they restrict me from certain kinds of clothing but I also don't want them gone in a way

@potatodog41 I hear you, and I understand that you're in a bit of a dilemma when it comes to your scars. It's entirely natural to have mixed feelings about them. Scars can be a part of our personal history.


Wanting to get rid of scars because of how they affect your self-esteem or clothing choices is a valid concern. Many people feel similarly, and there are various treatments and products available that can help reduce the appearance of scars if that's something you choose to pursue in the future.

On the other hand, it's also perfectly fine to embrace your scars as a part of who you are. They don't define your worth or beauty, and they can be a testament to the journey you've been through.

Ultimately, the decision about whether or not to treat your scars is entirely yours. It's essential to make choices that feel right for you and align with your values and comfort level. Your feelings about your scars are valid, and whichever path you choose, it's important to feel confident and comfortable in your own skin.
