I seperated a dog fight a little over a month ago and had to get stitches, now there are scars all over my hand, how can I make them look less noticeable? to me they look really ugly.

How about using bio oil to reduce the appearance and covering them with a little bit of makeup? :)

I'll see about the bio oil, but the scars are on my hand, so I don't know if I should try to cover it with makeup. Thanks!

Ouch! ya, I have burn scars too. my hands just look so gross. this is what my hand looked like before it healed.

Here's one from a different angle. these are 4 or 5 days after getting the stitches.

And here's one about an hour after the bites before I got the stitches.

Ouch! But they probably don't look as bad to anyone else as they do to you now that they have probably healed a little. Plus I bet no one would even notice them because they probably aren't looking at your hand unless you tell them about it. I hope it heals!

Yea its closed now but my fingers will permanently be slightly bigger and its still red and I will never have complete feeling in it, since it scraped a tendon or something. 7 stitches and dozens of little bites. I hate my dogs :/

Even if you do nothing they will fade to white over a few months to years, depending how bad they are.

I don't see the need to fade scars anyway. They can be a memory. I have a large scar on my arm from a car crash and used bio oil a little but tbh it doesn't bother me at all. I'm just letting it fade and heal naturally. It's been 15 months and most of it has faded to light purple/white and it was a deep laceration.
