Hi there,
I was just looking for some general opinions on this.. I have previously selfharmed on/off for the past 10 years and have received CBT therapy for this. I am at a stage in my life now where I am very conscious about my scars and people's reactions. I know the scars are bad and as my doctor has previously said many of them are keyloid scars.

The problem is, I went on holiday a couple of years ago, and even though I did my best to cover up and continuously apply sunscreen they did become very tender and sore. I assume this is also because they where quite freshly healed. It was so bad that even fabric or the breeze against them was very painful.

On one of the scars that I had at this time now have a lump underneath it. It is visible. I am wondering if this is just the natural way it has scarred or if it could be skin/sun damage? Sorry that the picture isn't very clear. Thanks in advance for any advice.
