well my boyfriend stopped cutting a year ago, and hes getting worried because his scars haven;t gone away. how long does it usually take for them to go away?
Poison_Tears_IxI answered Tuesday January 2 2007, 2:29 pm: They wont. Before you cut you need think there are always going to be scars. i have personally expirienced it. Cutting is to relive the pain but the scars are going to be there forever as a reminder of why you did it to begin with. you can try using creams to make them fade but they wont fully go away espessially if they were really deep.

Even worse.. when you get cold, they get really noticable. If you can't get maderma, just try cocoa butter. [ cheddar's advice column | Ask cheddar A Question ]
