I don't bother covering up my scarring and tbh most people don't even notice my arms. If you don't want to wear long sleeves you don't have to :)

I mostly wear sleeveless shirts and super short shorts. It takes a little while to get used to not being covered up and sometimes being asked about your scars, but after a month or two it really stops being a big deal.

Yea, I just gotta not think about it when I'm in public I guess. Also, I really like your username.. then I saw your posts. Those are brutal, I hope you 'get well' or whatever.

So your arms were completly clean before this?

Yup, just started hacking away.. maybe I'll get a cool red dot if it scars though. Is there any chance those'll heal without scarring?

Some of them do look a bit deep, did you clean them and take care of them? There may be a chance that some of them heal with out scarring to visibly but some of them will be visible when they scar over. I hope you are in a better place now and are able to talk to someone about how you feel.

Are you referencing my post with the red dot thing? ^ ^

Like duraim said I think, the deeper ones are probably going to scar. To cover them without long sleeves you could use something like this http://www.tat2x.com/cover-up-tattoos-s/1820.htm.

Yea haha. It looks cool, as long as it doesn't mean it's getting worse or anything.

I think I'll get one of those, thanks.

Make sure they're clean, and use steri strips or tape to pull the edges closed. Keep them covered and moist to try to prevent a scab forming. That will give you the best chance of them healing with minimal scarring.

Hey man, please seek some medical care. I really hope those heal soon. If you need someone to talk to, you're more than welcome to pm me. Please take care <3
