evening dresses - mosquito scarring

7 replies

terrible scarring on lower legs from mosquito bites - they have left visible scars that have faded over the years .. but are still visible as they are 3 shades darker!
I have a fairly large event next spring and i was wondering if i will look out of place wearing a full length evening dress!

i have used bio-oil and it worked however as i was testing it i used it on one leg only so i could compare so i have really ruined my legs
it didnt fade completely but it is only 1 shade darker/ half a shade

any help will be appreciated sorry for the rambl-y post

Would any treatment for melasma work?

Have you tried the Sally Hansen leg make up? It’s like foundation for legs, just smooths out the appearance nicely.

Any long skirted dress would surely cover up - not many events I can think of where the long length of the dress would be an issue?

I am covered in mozzie scars too, but I just chuck some fake tan on if I'm worried about them (rarely). I use Clarins stuff, it does the job well and isn't orange.

The Sally Hansen airbrush legs comes in 4 different shades, I have the lightest & it isn't orange-y at all
