If you've ever damaged your skin and got a permanent scar, you
know the effects it can have on your self-esteem. Now matter how
invisible it is to others, you know it's there and for many people, this
can be devastating. The good news is that there are ways to prevent
scars from forming. Some of these suggestions may seem logical but when
you know how scars form, and you injure your skin, you'll also know how
best to prevent the scar from staying or at the very least, how to make
that scar as minimally visible as possible.
First, don't damage your skin. We all know this isn't possible all the time... accidents do happen. But, where it is possible, try to prevent the damage in the first place. Scars form to protect the skin from further injury. Take care when doing any activity that has the potential of skin injury. Wear protective equipment whenever possible.
