So after I came back from MEPS I developed a nasty staph infection. 2 trips to the er, an 8 day hospital stay and a surgery later(I had basically a core removed from my knee, it was 2 inches across and 1 inch deep and had to be packed with gauze for a month) I have a quarter sized purple scar on my knee. The infectious disease dr believes MEPS is where i picked up the infection.
But I told my recruiters and they advised me to not inform them at all because any type of surgery would delay my entry for at least 6 months. I go back to MEPS to process and ship on January 22nd and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with lightening scars. I can probably pass it off as an old road rash scar, I'd just like it to look less purple and fade it as much as possible.
