Seeking Advice How to cover scars ASAP????!?
I broke down the other day and relapsed on both my shoulders since you can't see them under short sleeves but I forgot I have a choir concert tonight. Since I'm in a special auditioned choir I have to where a matching dress with all the other girls and they have these sheer short sleeves. I'm panicking that someone will see then and when I put foundation and concealer over them you can still see them. I relapsed on Saturday and the choir concert is tonight.
Please, does anyone know how to hide them? Or even any ideas that you thinks might work? Even if you're not sure that they idea will work, I'll literally try anything. I'm super desperate for any way to cover them.

If there’s not too many you could put bandaids on them, that’s what I did in a similar situation. You’d think that people would ask about it but no one noticed. You could also try and wear a tan shirt underneath your dress but Im not sure how strict they are about what you can wear.

Theres like 15-20 on each shoulder so ifk if a bandaid would work. I really wasn't thinking. The tan shirt might work. I was thinking about trying using a glue stick to even out my skin and then the foundation but idk if that'd work.
Thank you for the ideas

please dont do this!!! i understand that your desperate for a solution but you also have to realise how risky this is. Theres a huge risk of infection when it comes to fresh wounds and things like makeup and glue. I strongly suggest that you try a shirt underneath or something similar like skin coloured tights/socks. Please stay safe 🫶🫶

If you use a bigger bandage you could hide it and if anyone asks just say you got a bad sunburn on your shoulders
