How to get rid of self harm scars?

First of all, congratulations for having enough courage to stop. Second, sometimes you can't really get rid of the scars. But learn to appreciate how far you came instead =)

If it's not too big or deep, it'll usually heal over time. But if it turns out to be a keloid, then you'll probably have to laser it

Those scars at first can be a painful reminder, but eventually they become something that show what you survived, that showed your strength. Do not be ashamed. However if you want them gone, depending on the severity, you can have gorgeous tattoo covers, and you can get good creams for scars, or go speak to your doctor. There is a different solution for everyone, I hope you find the right one for you

I am an addicted self-harmer and I find it very hard, especially when there is high scar tissue on obvious parts of your body. I wear sleeves majority of the time and long pants but you obviously can't do that every day for the rest of you life can you? When I'm not wearing sleeves I often wear make up, water proof spray tan (if I'm going in water) and for the places with high scar tissue Ii sometimes use liquid layex. It's just like another skin and its clear. It's also extremely easy to apply. The only negative is that it can be quite expensive. Nowadays I tend to not actually bother with any of this though because it takes a lot of time and effort to do it. Also I found that I was constantly stressing over if they were properly covered. It's not like Ii didn't do a good job or anything it's just that Ii was constantly paranoid about it. So i told my family and closest friends, and now I don't really worry about it too much, and it's not like I advertise it. Also I'm not saying that I don't get the sideway looks or the constant questions but I do feel better about not having to hide that part of myself anymore, and I think it has made me stronger.

there is no real way to get rid of them besides time. you can buy all the creams and pills in the world but the best thing out there is just time & patience. one day your scars will fade but they'll never leave.

lemon juice bleaches them if they're dark n i've also found that pure coconut oil works wonders! i'm not sure why it works, but mine are hardly noticeable now, so maybe that's something y'all would want to try x but also, unless you feel they have to vanish, don't be ashamed of them, they show that you fought your way through a bad time in your life

Like others have mentioned bio oil can help reduce the appearance of scars. Another option (although it is very expensive) is the creme de le mer (I'm sure that's what it's called). Apparent,y it was designed by a man to help reduce his wife's scars - I don't know what type of scars but there you go!

Cover it up with a nice tattoo or go to a plastic surgeon, there's not much you can do. If you feel ashamed of it just lie about what happened and say it was an accident. A white lie is nothing to be guilty about or you could just be honest. After all, you are who are in this life and what's done is done. Regrets can be a bummer but only if you let them be that. I've done the same to myself several times and I understand, it can be embarrassing to share with others but you shouldn't be too hard on yourself regardless of what the other person's reaction is.

You can talk to someone you trust about them, it'll help more than you think. However if you have no one you trust, you can also call a hotline.

I recommend applying and massaging the area with extra virgin olive oil along with a snail extract cream. They're efficient if used over a longer period of time. You could also contact a dermatologist about this as they will give you proper medical advice.
