    Your body only uses what it needs in the way of vitamins; it takes everything out of the food you eat, it utilizes vitamin pills and because our body is such a marvelous organism, it only uses what it can and discards the rest through our urine. So you need not worry about overdosing on ordinary vitamin supplements. If you take care of your body, heed what it is saying to you, your body will take care of you.

    Please do be careful with vitamins. There are certain herbs and vitamins that can build up in the human body to toxic levels. Although I'm not going to go into detail about these levels here for legal reasons, you can do a Google search for more information on this subject.

    As a nutrition freak, pseudo-vegetarian, supplement enthusiast, and as someone who works in the vitamin/supplement field, understand that maintaining a proper diet and correct supplementation unlocks much of our ability to heal and protect ourselves. But, supplementation is also a field where our understanding is constantly evolving. There are dangerous levels that can be reached, there are dangerous combinations and interactions that are possible. Do be careful.

    Hey that is good that you have quit . I am too a former cutter and after years of treatment I have stopped but have horrible reminders on my wrists. My mom said that if I could go three years without relapseing and I prove that I am serious about quitting that she would pay for me to have a surgery that removes scars. I don't know a whole lot about it I think it's a laser surgery. But until then I wear patches on my arms when I go to bed at night like(Mederma scar removing patches or silicone scar therapy patches) I also use cocoa butter obsessivley and well as oils. In the mean time you can wear bracelets on your wrists or my favorite covering your arms in an airbrush makeup that matches your skin tome. Good luck and I hope it all works out for you!

    I have bought curad scar patches and people have said that they are disapearing. But its nice of your mother to say that. I quit doing a lot of things at once and my parents don't know but do you know how to get rid of deep scars on you legs.

    Keep going with what you've been doing and try taking a few vitamens or solutions that claim to help scars from the inside out, which is good if they are quite deep.

    Vitamin A
    This is needed for maintenance and repair of
    Skin tissue.

    Vitamin B Complex
    This aids your skin tissue to repair.

    Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids
    This keeps the skin soft and increases
    Elasticity.

    Vitamin E
    This improves circulation and reduces scarring. Either taken in oil and rubbed on the skin, mixed with another oil or Aloe Vera

    Silica
    This helps the skin stay flexible, soft and supple.

    Zinc
    This is effective in treating and preventing stretch marks.

    Digestive Enzymes
    They help heal scarring internally and externally.

    I copied and pasted these off misscp answer to Say you have some slight stretch marks on your lower... - Q&A

    Silicone scar sheets simply work if your scar is raised and/or discolored. Neosporin used to make a very popular one called Scar Solution. Now thy're repackaged as ScarAway. You can get them at amazon.com. Good luck.
