Scars
I didn't know where to put this question, but I hope it's OK here.
I'm 15/F from the UK. And earlier this year I had a really rough time at school because I didn't know where I belonged anymore (with friends, I mean) and consquently, I self harmed on my lower left arm. No one knows about it apart from my closest best friends. But it's been really hard recently trying to cover it up with cardigans, jumpers and hoodies etc.
I know, I know, I was wrong to do what I did, but it happened and there is nothing I can do about it (or at least I don't think I can) and I really regret doing it. It's like a living memory of the loss of friends and regret that I see everyday - I hate it.
I really wanted to ask what you think I could do about it? because I know it's going to take ages to heal properly so you can hardly see anything. It's all up the lower part of my arm and they're like promenant red marks. Some of them have a white strip down the middle of it, but not all of them.
Please, if you have any ideas how I can get rid of them, I would highly appreciate it. Thanks in advance, :)

Or you could just come out and accept that you have scars. Just please dont do it anymore.
You can cover them with sleeves, wristbands, makeup

Cutting is very dangerous, and you already know you shouldn't have done it, which is good. They do take a lot of time to heal. The scars will always be there. Here's some things you can use to maybe help them go down a little bit.
-Long sleeves. (you already know that)
-Bracelet's and Watches. (I know a friend who did this to cover up cutting marks, it worked somewhat)
-Bio oil helps the scars go down. Here's a link to check it out. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
-Pure Vitamin E Oil helps a lot to reduce the appearance of scars.
-Makeup coverup
Those are just a few that I know of.
Please, don't cut yourself anymore. Some ways to stop that from ever happening again? Try keeping yourself busy. Sports, Crafts, Hobbies, etc.
Good Luck! Hope I helped :)
