Try vitamin E cream for the scars.
ReplyWhy do your parents dictate whether you are allowed to wear long sleeves? Unless it's due to previously identified self harm.
Honestly you may have to just deal with it and admit.
Replyliterally nobody knows i do it. I find it weird too, but they just say i have to, no buts. And i would rather keep it not so known. I'm scared of what they'll do
ReplyAlso depends how big they are. If you have a small area then try covering with a bandage type thing, otherwise very difficult. Try long sleeves but "summery looking" clothes with thin fabrics like crochet but longsleeve. Using a vit e or another scar type cream will help but it comes down to if they'll be scars or new cuts. Nothing's going to make it invisible. For scars use a silicone based gel as I've used it on keloid scars and It's pretty great.
