What can i do to get rid of self-inflicted scars?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time, and others.: Time is often the best way to get rid of scars, as most will fade eventually. Lasers, surgical excision or rearrangement, steroid injections, etc are all ways to treat scars. You should ask your primary doctor who to go to for this. Make sure you are getting help for the problems that led to self inflicted scars in the first place.
