Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
First thing is, I know the feeling.
So many times have I thought the same thing.
The first obvious answer is to stop.
And if you cant stop right now, then go and talk to someone.
I shoke to my PE teacher, and since then, llife's been a lot easier for me in school.
These people won't judge you.
Theres a reason for the cutting and it needs sorted. You need to deal with the underlying problem.
As for hiding them..
I normally wear long sleeved tshirts under other tops.
and then fingerless gloves at other times.
i also wear this black cuff i got wich is really good for hiding them. but thats on the wrist.
elbow sort of area..
theres not much
just try a bandage over it and say you've strained your elbow so something.
In that area, they tend to take ages to go away too.
But moisturising helps a lot
and i put a tinted cream over it so now it doesnt look as bad. Fake tan could threfore be an option.
But please, do get help!
Theres nothing like good help!
Good luck <3

Hey. I do it too. But, if you plan on exposing your arms this summer, stop, like now. You can wait until they scab over and then start to put lotion on them. After a while, they should get better. If they don't go away completely, use cover up.
Hope I helped ♥ Kathleen.

Covering the cuts up will be very difficult depending where on your arms they are situated. Like the last poster stated above me unless you can wear something with long sleeves you really cannot do much to hide them in the summer.
Will people talk? You can bank on it they will but you need to ignore that and not let it affect you as hard as that is. They're just ignorant of this kind of thing and the fact that it is fuelled by mental illness and demons.
What you really need to do for yourself is to show your scars to family or an adult you trust and ask for help to stop. You need to see a doctor who can refer you to a psychiatrist as you have a mental distrurbance you need professional help with that is causing all of this.
The best thing to do is to get some kind of relief through medical means from this issue. You owe it to yourself. It's time to stop trying to hide the scars and keeping this a secret that is also hidden. Sooner or later people will know and see what is going on but you have the ability to stop it from escalating further.
Like i said, there's not much you can do to hide these scars if they are in a spot on your arms that is highly visible without a sweater that completely covers your arms. In summer it's just not possible to do really. Bottom line, please get yourself some help as you badly need it.
That's the truth, not a judgment of you. You're in BIG trouble here wheher you see that or not. It cannot go on much longer without people noticing and forcing you to stop. it's best to go to them on your own and get help than being told to do so when they see the scars.

I doubt this is what you want to hear but first off, the best solution to your problem would be to stop cutting. I don't know you, I don't know your background or your reasons for it. But I've been in your position and it's not a nice place to be in. Please try and get some kind of help or just talk to someone, cutting is only a temporary fix and can have serious consequences.
As for covering your arms in the meantime, I used to wear sweatbands and multiple bracelets to cover the scars on my wrists when they were still obvious. Aside from wearing long sleeved shirts, there isn't really a way to hide cuts higher up than that without stopping altogether.

Just one answer to this. Don't cut! It's simple. They won't talk about it if you don't do it. Plus, if you reveal your cuts, it's most likely that a teacher will see and report it to the nurse, getting you in trouble. Try hard not to cut, and try to do something else to get rid of your stress. ood luck and best wishes.
