How do you hide cutting scars that you have on your wrist

I wear long sleeves, when it is even remotely cold, and usually wear a lot of bracelets (like the livestrong ones) over bandaids (big ones) or an ace bandage...that way if a bracelet slips, someone will not see neat rows of cuts...just a bandaid...a bandaid can be explained away...an open cut cannot. Also, I cut on the INSIDE of my wrists...much less noticeable.

Well, I was burnt on my upper bicep around a year and a half ago. I tried Shea cocoa butter which barely helped. I then tried the scar remover Medera. It really made a difference.
The scars aren't your biggest problem though. Cutting seems like a way to deal with emotional issues at the time, but sometimes seeing some of those scars in your future will be a constant reminder. If you're done with the cutting all together, I say get the scar remover and remove some of the things from your past. If not, deal with those issues before tackling the scars.
Best of luck to you in removing the scars, both physically and emotionally.

I don't anymore. There are just too many. But people I know know I did it and people I don't know are too polite to say anything, so it doesn't really matter. This only applies as long as there are no fresh scars. Back then I wore a bunch of bracelets and wrist bands. Pretty much all the way up my arms.

There are a few options(although you shouldn't cut)
1: Scar repair lotion: Massage into scars evry night.
2: Silicon strips: Again, apply at night. These are really good for filling the scar in and making it look like natural skin again.
3: Or simply wear long-sleeved shirts =)
Plz stop cutting yourself!!! everytime i hear/see somone do it I get depresed.=(

Wear long sleeves.
You are probably expecting a lecture about how you shouldn't cut yourself though, seeing as you posted this in mental health, or else you would have posted this in another category, probably in clothing or make up. And sure enough, you will get a lecture from some person, but it would have been easier if you just asked for it.

Lots of bracelets, but please talk to a therapist about what you are going through. You are worth more than hurting yourself.

Why don't you get help and stop cutting yourself.
Then you don't have ANYTHING to hide.
Don't you hate having to lie all the time? Don't you forget who you've told what to?
