How can I get rid of the scars on my wrist?

[Crycrycry]

there are too many scars and i can't wear long sleeves they are too deep a month has passed it still hurts how can i heal

I... I personally understand your plight and have had to take care of mine. Here's my tips:

- Firstly, try to find alternative coping mechanisms to it so this is a one time thing. I'd recommend possibly trying to replace the knife with a pen instead, or at least a blunt edge. It sometimes works as a catharsis and can really help. There's also stuff like punching things or kicking things until you hurt (since the microfractures from that tend to hurt but also allows you to grow back stronger, quite literally), but just try to find a healthy way of taking care of that. (Personally, I took up drinking as my emergency out, but I have been mostly sober ever since, since I'm underage and it's unhealthy.)

- Try to use Vitamin E lotions or moisturizing lotions, and possibly Aloe Vera. Keep in mind the results aren't going to be immediate and will most likely make them mostly fade instead of getting rid of them completely, but keep at it. Skin cell turnover takes like 28 days or so. Be patient. Mine have faded and I hope yours do too.

I know it's a long road to recovery, and I know it can be hard, especially without support from your parents. But I'm hoping you can recover well, and I'm proud of you for trying to take the first step of not cutting and asking for help to heal, even if in this situation it's only physically.
Your feelings are valid and I wish you well :)

You have to put lotion on it you have to make sure it stays clean your scars will always be there to remind you the pain that you felt then and the pain you feel now in time it will all go away but not for a while if you ever need to talk please send me a message I would be happy to talk with you

You can never fully get rid of scares especially deep ones the only option is to maybe one day get a tattoo to cover them but sometimes tattoo artist won’t tattoo over scars cause of the risk

Don’t be embarrassed by the scars scars can be beautiful because they are your story they are a way of showing you survived

There are a couple of approaches you can take.

Needling, which can be used to sort of blend them in with rest of skin.
laser treatments
after that it’s makeup / concealing.
depending on direction, number etc, then wrist bracelets and bands etc can help cover them.

One or both?

[Crycrycry]

Ten.

[ChrisMaster69]

Have you stopped now?

If so then it’s worth having a chat to doctor about what could be done

I assume you are in the US?

That will likely rule out getting for free

[Crycrycry]

I can't show the doctor my arm my family won't allow it, it makes me think they are bad parents

[Crycrycry]

I can't show the cuts on my wrist

[ChrisMaster69]

Look at wrist bands etc, beaded ones etc. change your fashion to slightly disguise them.
You do need to look st some point of making and appointment to get sorted.

There are many home remedies for various things that will fade scars.
My grandmother used to swear by cocoa butter and vitamin e oil to prevent stretch marks and stop scarring and she had 11 kids and no stretch marks or so I was told.
But I would let them heal up as much as possible and that tattoo over them

[OddBeMe]

First they shouldn't be hurting if they're scars. Scar tissue is dead tissue with dead nerve endings.

But vitamin E can help conceal them.

[Crycrycry]

Since the wounds are deep, the wounds constantly open and continue to bleed, especially after the bath.

[Crycrycry]

I don't understand why the wounds haven't healed I guess it will pass soon

[OddBeMe]

How long has it been? hemophilia Is a disease where bodies don’t heal.
