I've got these cuts on my left armsix deep, straight scars from 15 years ago that I gave myself. Now I really need to get rid of them quickly but I'm not looking to use laser treatment. I have a medical test coming up next week, and I wouldnt mind if the scars looked like an accident wound but definitely not self-inflicted. Got any advice that could help?

Consult a dermatologist or plastic surgeon for a scar revision or excision procedure, and for immediate camouflage, use medical-grade concealers, silicone gel sheeting, or scar tape to disguise the scars as accidental wounds, and consider explaining your situation to your doctor, as they may be able to provide a medical note or documentation to support your claim.

I've noticed this red and purple bruise under my belly on the right side, and I'm stumped about how it got there. Should I be worried about this? Is there something in particular that could cause a bruise to appear without injury?
The symptoms you are describing could be due to a minor trauma or injury that you may not remember. To help with the bruising and pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. Additionally, you can apply a cold compress to the area to reduce swelling and pain. If the bruise does not improve or if you experience any other concerning symptoms, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
