How to cover up my self harm cuts/scars on my side?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a doctor.: You need to see a psychiatrist ;/or therapist to reduce the urges to cut on yourself. Naltrexone is a med that can decrease the pleasurable sensations in your brain after an injury is made. The best way to help yourself is to stop cutting on yourself ; keep the areas clean ; dry. U may need an assessment to determine the extent of your wounds ; tx for infection if needed.
