I'll be going to the doctor to have an injury looked at.
But right in that area...well...
literally
gotta cover em

what it do?

i was able to use makeup that's light but decent coverage so it's not so obvious
but it's still noticeable especially if an area is being analyzed
i doubt a doctor is gunna miss that
 
Temporary tattoo or makeup. But if he notices it, he may wonder why you're tryna cover it.

Unless you need narcotics and don't wanna look like a drug abuser, I don't see why you would wanna cover them.
 
I agree with flyhigh and cap'n . I know it sucks to get looked down upon but it's better to not look like a liar. Drs hate to have their intelligence tested ime/imo
 
Im not sure what make up you have used but bare minerals make up gives me an excellent coverage. Do you have bare essentials? Try this and see if it works out.
 
Bandaid, if you don't think it's going to affect the examination of the injured area.
 
Yeah I'm going to have to suggest the make up route, but make sure you don't go overboard with it and apply it to make your skin look natural as possible.

To soften them up for the long term so you don't have to deal with this type of thing again, I would recommend Vitamin E lotion on the tracks. My favorite product is the CVS brand neosporin with Vitamin E infused.

There are also some expensive scar creams that I haven't tried, but your supposed to use them 2-3 times a day over a period of months in order to experience the best results.
 
Doctors are smart they never got through medical school by not being observant and intelligent its their job to notice these things. They also should not judge you and if they do find a new one. Now if your trying to score drugs and that's why your hiding them then most doctors would be reluctent to prescribe you narcotics unless it's absolutely nessesary its not really judging its more so trying to cover their ass im case something happens to you so they need to be more strict.
 
Getting healed tracks covered to the point where a Dr won't notice them IS possible, but it takes a lot of work and the right equiptment.

The first thing you need is a palette of concealers specifically for covering tattoo's and/or bruises/scars. Ebay will have what you need. You want the product to be kind of waxy, with no shimmer. Then you need to learn how to use it. First, exfoliate, dry and moisturise the area. You may wish to shave your arms for a smoother working surface. Working with the same colour wheel that is used by make-up artists generally, 'opposite' colours are used to neutralise scar colors. Yellow correctors cover purple marks, peach covers blue, purple/lavender covers yellow, green covers red, pink/red covers green. Google color correcting make-up for more details. After colour correcting layers have been applied, a concealer which matches your skin shade exactly is applied over the top of these neutralising colours. Both for neutralising colours, and the skin shade, very light, thin layers of concealer are built up gradually, patting them onto the area. Everything needs to also be blended into the surrounding skin - the skin-shade concealer should spread beyond the track mark area. More than one colour is usually required, as is precision - cotton buds may be needed to apply exactly the right colours to the right spots. If you've used waxy concealers, you shouldn't need a powder product. If you did not shave your arm, you will need to remove concealer from the hair, or it will look obvious. Wrap tissue paper around a pencil and using your thumb to apply pressure, roll/pinch the pencil up the length of the hair - concealer should be deposited on the tissue.

A considerably easier way is a temporary tattoo - just make sure its dark enough, and ideally contains a lot of the colours of the tracks, rather than being just black.
