I have over 100 scars from cutting myself and I used to be so scared of people seeing and judging me for it and I'm not sure why you have scars, but in reality, no one but you will study your legs long enough to notice them I'm sure. So don't worry.

I use to Looove My legs but now I can't stand them due to a huge scar running all the way down my right leg from an accident. you can even see the indentation of it when I wear fitting pants but I got use to it over the years.

Try rose hip oil my friend came of a bike at 16 and got her leg stuck in the frame she had to get 6 pins and they were huge like gun shot holes shiny and soft and it made a difference to hers and I use it on my cesarean scar which is crazy!!

Scars are not something to be ashamed of and if anyone mocks you for them (or eczema, or psoriasis or ANYTHING) that says more about them than you.

I think the more people show their true skin, the more others will feel strengthened by it. Be a trendsetter!

I have broken veins.
The crazy thing is, only I can see them.
Embrace it, I did and I got over it.

I don't know how old you are but having scars on your legs is very common. Accept yourself for who you are.

I use to be so insecure about my legs I wouldn't even wear shorts or long skirt and it was really hot outside I felt really insecure about my legs because I'm really thin and people on the street and my family and friends they would always make fun of me but over time I learned to ignore what people said about me and to wear what I wanted.

I have dermatitis and have multiple scars all over my legs. I am extremelyyyyy self conscious about them. I would rarely wear shorts or skirts unless it was really hot. People would always make fun of me. All the time people would say "what's wrong with your legs?" and I would get so embarrassed. Even my close friends would make comments. I always hated going swimming and I know people would stare. Honestly 1 thing that mentally helped me was my boyfriend. I've been with him for 2 years and he has never once commented on them. I can openly talk about it with him which has helped me. One thing is swear by is organic virgin coconut oil. This is the only thing that has worked for me. I apply it twice a day and there is a huuuuge difference. Within 2 months I started noticing a difference. Also, put some coconut oil on and go outside for 10-20 minutes. It will tan your legs nicely and it wont make the scars as noticeable. I hope this has helped. (:

I feel that way about my thighs. I feel like they are so big and every one looks at them.

Youre not the only one. I have lots of small scars because I used to pick my scars. I use body lotion with glycolic acid 15% and it helped lightened them. but for deep scars it won't help. try sally hansen sprat for legs, the one kim kardashian use. it helps a lot for me!

I know it's like 3 years late but I want to share my thoughts about this. I feel you guys. I've always want to wear 'pretty' clothes, above knee skirt, shorts, or etc.but when I look at my leg scars it prevents me from doing so. Personally, I think that's just because of what society makes me think about scars. They're ugly, they're not pretty, and they will make you 'less than what you're supposed to look like' and still until this time I haven't deal with it. But regardless of that, let's be confident and improve ourselves to be a better person than we are now, we are more than our scars. :)
