Am I just being vain?

All on my back and arms are cigarette burns. This means it’s impossible for me to wear normal clothes. Without other people asking questions or poking at them I have to wear long sleeves. This especially sucks because I have a lot of friends who want to go to pool party’s and try on new clothes with me at the mall. I’ve been keeping it a secret for so long because I don’t want others to know or ask about how I got them. Is this too vain? Am I just being insecure?
