They will go away on their own, if you are still self harming than just think of things that make you feel good and happy.

Mederma, or other scar creams, can help. Lotion also will help. Sitting in the sun can help to fade scars slowly overtime (but don't get a sunburn to try to fade scars, that will do harm).

Being a victim of self harm at a one point of time in my life, I know how hard it can be to look at the scars day in and day out. The physical pain of the event may have diminished, but the emotional pain keeps resurfacing each time you look at the scars. If the scars aren't too deep, you can rub potato juice on it to reduce the visibility of it. That really helps.. You could also try applying raw milk on the effected area.

If they are fresh, soak them in salty water (simply add salt in water) for a while. Use some creams and powder. If they're older, get aloe vera and cut the plant, take out the juice and put them on scars for a while.

Most likely, they are not ever going to officially go away. They will fade over time to where they are not as noticeable, but they will probably never be GONE. They are your battle scars, proof that you have lived through your tough times.

I personally have struggled with this myself. I got a tattoo on the outside of my right thigh to cover two that hadn't healed properly. I've heard aloe vera works well, but that's more preventative for scarring than a solution once the scars exist. They make scar creams- not sure how effective they are though....

Scar cream I was told helps...
I don't try to get rid of mine. I have accepted them and I know that they do not define me.

Cosmetic surgery, or make-up, is a temporary solution if you wish to get rid of your scars. Thick layers of foundation may just do the trick. There are quite a few herbal home treatments as well, which take a little longer to fade the scars away.
Just a gentle question, would you really want to hide them away? Is it from yourself, or from others?
You are a brave soul, who goes to battle against everything that affects you, and your scars are proof of your bravery. Flaunt them instead, for they show you that you have endured far worse than whichever situation you have been in, and you have emerged victorious :) it is your choice, ultimately.
