I need to know some ways of covering my self harm scars. My bf knows I use to cut but when we go out I don’t like them showing and I don’t like people looking at me like im crazy when I wear sweatshirts, long sleeves and bracelets. Its just to obvious.

you shouldn’t be ashamed. Each scar is a story, and there should be nothing to hide. But anyway, wearing long sleeves doesnt make it obvious , unless its 156 degrees outside, then yeah its a bit obvious…….
Well ya… and at school it gets hot and I will do anything and everything at school in my sweztshirt and its obvious
Tattoos?
that’s about the only thing i can think of.
Im 14 and my parents wont let me….
Make up? ….or mederma scar cream or something like it
Ive thought about makeup but I usually can’t find any in my skin tone and it would be obvious
I know you said you don’t want to use bracelets but you could make it your little trademark. Wearing bracelets all the time and they could be really pretty. People near you will probably catch on but randoms will be nonethewiser
Everyone at my school figures I have cuts under bracelets…
Well try the fading cream it will make the scars less visible ….
You might want to use bio-oil on them if you don’t already. Or cocoa butter or vitamin e oil.
If you’re in England (or maybe other countries) some places like Boots, Superdrug will match your skin to foundation and concealer for you, and they’ll do it for free at the counter.
Im in america…
