I would put vaseline on them and bandaids until they healed and then put toner mixed with lemon juice on them in the morning and before sleeping.

Personally, I use a bio-oil that helps to fade scars. I can't remember exactly what it's called, nor where I bought it. However, I think it's originally meant to fade stretch marks, but it works wonders on scars as well.

Silicon gel sheets can reduce self-harm scars within 2-4 months. Mederma, a topical gel, can also aid in reducing the appearance of scars. Bio-oil is another solution.

You can use different cremes and lotions, but more effective way is to make a tattoo or tattoos. You can cover your scars with white-ink tats for example, they're more tender than the ordinary ones.
See some of them. I think it's the right solution of your problem.

Self harm scars can take a while to fade and some don't fade completely. Bio oil, sunlight and cocoa butter and things that can help reduce scarring.

You can use products with vitamin d or e. There are lots of products, gels that can help reduce scars. Also try frankincense oil. It is really good at helping scars fade. Applying this everyday to the scars can help reduce their look. Try staying out of the sun to, as this will make the scars look darker. If you can’t get rid of the scars, try using scar makeup (MAC) makes some. It can help
With at least covering the scars. Hope this helps some! Try not to be too embarrassed about them. Xoxo if you have any questions let me know

What I did was mix together lemon juice and sugar to make a scrub. The sugar will help to smooth out raised scars, and the lemon juice will make them lighter. Just make sure that you do this at night, or on places that are covered by clothes, because it may bleach your skin too much / unevenly if it's exposed to the sun

There are many creams you can buy to help get rid of them. I sometimes used lime juice on it. I also heard bio oil works fairly well on many types of scars. Some aloe vera lotion and gel can also work. I believe at one point i had used an aloe vera lotion. Just a regular lotion and it made my scars almost dissapear then they healed fairly fast after that. Ive also used a cocunut body scrub where my scars were when i would shower this also helped eliminate the visibility of my scars and they also healed fairly quick. Hope this helps:)
