Where are they? From what?

Answer #2

There on the lower half of my left arm…I used to cut myself

Answer #3

well have you tried scar cream. like scarzone? they help fade them. Not all the way but mostly. Other than that long sleeves or some make up is all i can think of. Try the creams. it takes time but they will fade. Sorry i couldnt help more

Answer #4

I used scar fading cream to fade my scars. The only scar it didn’t fade was the one above my hip which was not a self harm scar

Answer #5

Long sleeves or braclets. :)

Answer #6

It really depends on how bad the scars are from your self harming. I have scars on my arms that will never go away no matter how much I try. If they aren’t do bad you can try some of the creams mentioned but i would suggest wearing bracelets, longsleeves or even use a shoestring or coat string and wrap it up and say its a new fashion statement. There is also the option of not hiding them and not being ashamed of them. I let mine out in the open and if people judge me for it i just ignore them.

Answer #7

If only I could let them out in the open…I don’t want my parents to find out. Will you think it’ll work if I use different colored shoestrings?

Answer #8

by wearing full sleeves.

Answer #9

yea that could work. I know many of my friends who have done that and i use to do it myself and people didn’t pay any attention to them and actually complemented on how cool they looked.

Answer #10

Just wear long sleeves. & keep applying coco butter to help smooth away the scars.

Answer #11

Use a good scar cream, and wear bracelets or long sleeves, as other people have said. Another way that I hide mine is makeup concealer. You just put it onto your scars like you would a blemish on your face and it really helps lighten them. My mom hasn’t noticed yet. Good luck and I’m here for you <3
