It’s been almost 10 years. I’ve given up on the hope of them being less jarring to look at so covering is the only thing I can do…
I feel this post even though I am not trans. My wife, an ex professional athlete, blew out her knee twice and has very visible scars. She never wears anything that doesn’t cover her knees and is very self conscious in a bathing suit because of the scars. I hate to see her unhappy and uncomfortable.
I’m ignorant to the whole thing, but I would imagine they’re deep scars. Have you tried getting lotions with salicylic acid? It’s a sking steroid that is supposed to help with scars, stretch marks, and psoriasis
I’m ignorant to what transition scars would be on the legs.
Hope I’m not intruding. If OP is like me Salicylic acid will not work for some strange reason, metabolism maybe. I am currently in month 2 of 6 of trying silicon scar sheets like these and my scar is getting less pronounced and smaller. I usually put these on the scar right before going to bed and leave it on for the night. Sometimes even forget it and it stays on for the day too. So far I can recommend these.
I haven’t but if 10 years of time won’t help then neither will any cream or lotion
But does it hurt to try it?
