How to hide scars on legs: shorts season options
Leg scars show in shorts, dresses and swimwear. Hiding them can be as simple as opaque tights — or as involved as colour-matched pigment when pale scars stay bright in summer light.
Temporary hide tools
Opaque hosiery, longer hemlines, self-tanner and body makeup all reduce contrast. Self-tanner helps pale scars blend for days without daily paint. Waterproof cover for pool days: waterproof makeup for scars.
Orthopaedic and injury scars
Knee, shin and calf scars from surgery or accidents often mature flat but remain white. See orthopaedic surgery scar camouflage and injury scar camouflage.

Camouflage candidacy
Flat pale mature leg scars may suit scar camouflage. Hairy areas, high-friction zones and raised scars need careful assessment. Related: how to hide scars.
Stretch marks on legs
Thigh and calf stretch marks are common — hide stretch marks on thighs and calf & knee stretch marks.

Frequently asked questions
