It is up to the individual to decide whether to hide their scars or not. If they feel more comfortable or safe doing so, then that is their choice. However, it may also be empowering to show scars as a way to break stigma and raise awareness about mental health and self-harm.
You could always say you ran through some brambles or barbed wire and there are some scar erasing products on the market, but a more important issue is WHY are your cutting yourself??? Are you inflicting injuries on yourself because you are crying out for attention, are you doing it because you enjoy the pain, are you doing it because you feel you deserve to be punished, or do you think the scars are cool??? There is no good reason for self mutilation, and I strongly suggest you talk to someone who can understand and who you can relate to. You could try to cover it up by putting on a lot of sunscreen to try and blend it in.

Just let me tell you from experience, please don'tdo it.Anyway, the side effects of self harm are varied compared to what kind of self harm you are partaking in.Generally side effects can be bruises/cuts which can be hard to hide.In the long run deep cuts leave scars which are sometimes hard to hide.Self harm also ruins your body, therefore making you less confident. For example even going to a beach could get ruined because you don't generally want people to see your scars/cuts/bruises.
