As far as the scars are concerned .. this is the most difficult to treat surgically!! Best is to consult dermatologist and get laser management done ... If it is okay for you.. tattooing the whole forearm is also an option but you need to consider future repercussions in terms of social acceptance or job opportunities etc ... So probably you can try laser and see how it improves and finally resort to a good tattoo as a last resort
Next Steps
consult a dermatologist
Health Tips
be careful about surgery.. there are no good surgical techniques for hesitation marks.. don't try it unnecessarily!
