Hi all, I'm on HRT from a month and i started giving attention to my body now.
My right hand has burn scars, it happened when I was kid.
And my body has stretch marks, it makes me go insane coz I won't be able to wear many dresses. Any suggestions

You can get special creams specifically designed to cover burns; stretch marks etc or you can get laser treatment to make the burn marks less noticeable. Otherwise than that; sorry to say; you're going to have to learn to ignore other people if you catch them staring :/. You can always wear a cute cardigan or jacket over a dress you want to wear.
Btw, I have an awful looking s/h scar on my leg which I hate. One day I hope to cover it up with a tattoo (not sure if that can also be an option for you).
