Plastic surgery options?
I am a 22 year female, and my arms have been destroyed by my skin picking. I feel as if I am abnormal and ugly, because of this. It's summer time, and I want to be able to wear a bikini, and wear tank tops without feeling self-conscious and ashamed. I've been doing some heavy thinking about plastic surgery, and I was wondering if there are viable options to get rid of my skin picking evidence. Would anyone happen to know?

What does your skin look like? If you have dark areas from scarring, laser treatments can help to fade them and even out your skin tone. Plastic surgery is probably unnecessary and also very expensive. You can get laser done at a dermatologist's office that specializes in cosmetic procedures or at a medical spa. You can get a free consultation at a med spa and they will guide you from there.

you are young. skin is remarkable. scars can fade and diminish. the first thing you must do is conquer the affliction of picking. you can get treatments to deal with the scars and unless you've overcome the affliction, all the money you've paid and the time and effort of you and the health professionals might be for naught if you pick again. so .......................................... do what you can to quit picking for good .................. see your skin heal ..................... see what happens with your scarring - perhaps the scars will fade - perhaps you will learn to love yourself as you are - perhaps once your picking is history you will decide to take measures to address what scars remain ................................. but first you must conquer the affliction .................. get whatever help you need to do it ............. make a plan ........ commit to it ............ think positive thoughts ........ be hopeful ............. love yourself ........ love your skin enough to endure the hardship of conquering the affliction ..... put your mind to it and employ all tactics and tools and support systems ....... believe in yourself .... believe it is possible ..... you are worth it .....
