[Skin concerns] Picking scars on legs+KP

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I’ve never posted before, mostly because at this point I don’t think I have many options besides expensive laser treatments; but I might as well try!So, backstory: Like a lot 14 year old girl left home alone with a razor and a weird body hair complex, I hurriedly shaved my legs for the first time one summer afternoon and since then haven’t shown them since. After shaving for the first time I quickly developed a skin picking habit, and that in conjunction with an extreme case of genetic keratosis pilaris led to my legs being marred with dark marks and clusters of discolored skin. I’m in my 20s now, and though I’ve since gone to therapy and conquered my habit, the result of years of self harm has remained, and they aren’t fading. I haven’t shown anyone, not even my family and SO my legs in broad daylight. I can’t even remember the last time I wore shorts or a dress outside, even though the weather where I live is humid year round...it’s a pretty shitty feeling. To say the least.If anyone could recommend anything to help I’d be so greateful. So far I’ve ordered glycolic acid lotion and have an empty bottle of TendSkin that has done absolutely nothing for my ingrowns.Thank you!Images for reference: https://imgur.com/a/XC881H9
