How do you hide cuts from cutting yourself?

Question

Yes, I know it's wrong,
I'm going to stop,
But I still have the cuts,
And I can't get rid of them.
Give me a few tips to hide them,
Please?
Don't tell me it's bad,
I already know,
I'm at a psycologists,
But how do I hide the ones I have now
From people who would otherwise tease me?

Okay,
I don't have any of those things,
What's a quick fix I can do in 5 minutes?!?!?

Okay,
I have wristbands,
And hoodies,
So I'll just wear those...
But it's over a hundred degrees outside,
so I'm gonna roast...
THANKS!
More answers are still apreciated!

Answer 1

I won't lecture you on the underlying problems associated with self-mutilation; you seem well aware. Beyond those, the problems are two-fold; cosmetic and infection. You don't want others to see them and you don't want the wounds to get worse. After receiving counsel from a professional, follow these steps:
1) Keep your wounds clean. Using antiseptic and neosporin EVERY morning and evening will prevent infection and promote faster healing.
2) During the day, apply a substance known as 'Liquid Skin' or 'Liquid Bandage'. This material will keep you cuts covered and clean.
3) After the gel has formed and set, apply a thin layer of foundation, then powder. In the same sense that you can cover up a black-eye, you should be able to cover the 'Liquid Skin'.
4) Let your wounds air out at night. Wash them thoroughly before bed and expose them to open air. This is especially important for quicker healing. A constantly bandaged wound can become infected before you have time to prevent it.
5) Use stretch mark lotion on scarred tissue, previous cuts and scars MAY reduce. This is the purpose of that type of medication.
Again, I don't advocate your previous actions, but you deserve sound medical advice. Please be careful, good luck, and I hope this helps.

Dude get a aloe plant and break it an rub the juice from it and put on where you hurt yourself at so it can heal with out leaving a mark. You have to stop this, it wrong. And, you know it but for real when are you going to stop? You don't seem serious to me because we are just given you answers how to cover up so, you want be tease by your peers. Have you ever thought your parents pain and suffering? No, your just thinking about yourself.

Answer 3

that depends on where these 'cuts' are if they r on ur arm then wear a jacket/longsleeve shirt if they are on ur legs considor not wearing shorts/skirts if they are on ur foot don't wear flip-flops or say it is poison ivy if they are on ur face blush works wonders or u could try 'victoria's secret' scratch cream it hides zit's as well as cuts and can also be used for a very low sunscreen but its the best i carry around a mini bottle with me everywhere i go just in case

Answer 4

use tanning lotion to even things out. after that like when u go out and stuff use blemish makeup that normally u would use for ur face. depending on where the cuts are this should work, and if it doesnt try using the stuff people use to cover up tattoos. hope this helps.

Answer 5

If you can cover them with any type of clothing do that, if you can use a bandage. But most of all don't do that anymore. Life is short enough without harming yourself. There are people out there that love you.
