I kept this quiet for over a year. Do you know how hard it is to try and cover your arms and legs frm everyone? And then trying to deals with all the questions, "why you wearing a blazer" and when your sleeve goes up and people ask "whats that" and you try to lie, but it's so obvious. I got sick of all the stares and dirty looks, people had seen old scars in pe and on my legs, it was spreading round anyway. I couldn't stand it anymore. I still try to hide them, but in all honestly I have given up. And no, I'm not proud.
