I have used bio-oil and emu oil in the past to eliminate scars. It takes some time, but they gradually fade away.

Try a silicon jel sheet, medora, bio oil or other scar reducing creams, lotions, and jels. You can also get this thing wear they take a patch ofs skin and put the top layer over a certain area.

Fresh self-harm scars can be helped heal faster by putting Neosporin on it or any kind of healing cream/ ointment. Eventually, they will fade away as you get older.

Of course it depends on the severity of the scars and how old they are, but vitamin e oil really helps with scarring. I scar easily, and even have several old self harm scars that have faded naturally with time, but look better because of vitamin e oil.

Apply petroleum jelly to fresh scars. Petroleum jelly (Vaseline) is a derivative of the oil refining process and is used to create a water-resistant barrier on the skin. It can be helpful in reducing scarring because it keeps the skin moist and covered. Apply petroleum jelly to the scarred area once a day.
Petroleum jelly does not seem to have an impact on older scars.

Bio Oil works wonders! Sadly, it takes a while to start working. Give it a minimum of 3 months to start seeing results. Also lay in the sun so they look more faded.

Depending on the depth of the scar, some scars heal more thoroughly than others.
Vitamin E & C are great contributors to healing scar tissue.
I think that many self harm scars have the possibility of always being visible.
I don't think that their visibility should cause anyone to feel shamed but more as a reminder as to where you have been and to show you how much progress you have made and how far you have came.
I would be less concerned with "getting rid of them" and more concerned with embracing yourself completely even your scars.

Bio Oil is very efficient to help fade scars. Additionally lightly massaging self harm scars can help to speed along the healing process.

There are scar lightening creams you can use to make them less visible. You can also use concealer to hide them. They will fade in time, but likely will never be gone.

I wish I could tell you but unfortunately I don't think you can get rid of self harm scars, they may fade but they'll still be there. You could always make them less prominent by applying ointments or creams. If you're willing to go the extreme I think you can get them removed by laser if I'm correct.
