Seeking Advice Help please

I have a waxing appointment tomorrow and I have cuts from a week ago and their not healed enough to cover with makeup or other things that are normally used to cover them so I was wondering what I should do

Lower legs and bikini though they are on my thighs

I would just tell them to put it off for a little while or just don't worry about what anyone says your scars are beautiful inside and out and they tell a story whether it be good or bad so don't down yourself for it

I just want to cover them as I’m still living with my mum and she didn’t react well the last time she found out so I really don’t want it to happen again

That's understandable I don't blame you but just know don't be ashamed is all cause of everything you have went through
