How recently?: How recently have you hurt yourself? Are you still feeling suicidal? If so, you do need emergency help! also to help with the wounds as well. At 17, please get your parents' help on this. If these are healed scars, you need to see a dermatologist or plastic surgeon for assessment and options for dealing with them. Psychotherapy may help your emotional pain as well. Take care.

Which scars?: Sounds like a very painful time for you. You must have seen a dr for DX and rx - so, please talk about how bad you've been feeling or try to find one that you can talk to. With your conditions, at your age, it is really worthwhile to get the right sort of therapy and safe, effective medication. Please don't worry too much now about scars on your skin - your soul is your first concern. Well wishes.
