Other Answers:
Maybe you should leave them alone. You obviously have some issues. This way, the next time you consider doing something as stupid as cutting on yourself, the scars will be a nice little reminder of the consequences of those actions.
neosporin
depends on how thick are the scars. you might have to go see a plastic surgeon or let time do the job.
Suprisingly Jergens Natural Glow lotion made a scar of mine go away.i thinks its cause it makes ur skin darker. I dunno. it just worked.
It depends on the age of the scars, there are pressure bandages that might help but you'll have to speak with a pharmacist or doctor or google it. Chances are you'll just have to live with them.
Don't pay attention to people who try to make you feel stupid or bad. You need to build up your self-esteem and resolve your issues, not to be made feel even worse for a recognised medical condition that requires medical intervention rather than mindless critisism by people who have never studied this or suffered from it.
Leave them alone, over time they go away. Or, you can use platic surgery. Neosporin - for bacteria if you see a chance of infection.
IMPORTANT:
Why? Try to find friends you can trust, I want to tell you jump and go see a therapist (though it may be useful).
If you don't find it very comfortable to make friends - try making online friends, people whom you can tell things anonymously - will let your emotions out.
try using aloe vera, the substance from the plant leaves itself help with time. cut a leaf squeeze the extract out and rub on the scars,repeat everyday, it leaves a sticky residue on the skin but it does work with time and patience.
My mother had a quadruple by pass(which leaves a very ugly scar) her doctor recommended maderma,Six weeks later the scar was barely noticeable.It also works great on stretch marks and evening out skin tones on the face! Will reduce and sometime totally eliminate birthmarks
I have extensive corrective surgery and am scared on my arms legs and stomach and I found rose hip oil fantastic rub on scar every morning or / and night depending on how bad they are .It worked wonders on mine and is relatively cheap
I've always heard to use coco butter. but they also sell scar lotions at the drugstore and stuff. OH YEAH, keep sunscreen on them, it's bad when scars get UV rays and they stay longer..
Use Miderma every day for like a year and they will reduce the scars. They will never go away, but they will get fainter and harder to see.
