There are several ways to hide self-harm scars, such as wearing long sleeves and covering up with clothing. However, it is important to recognize that hiding your scars might not be the best solution. Self-harm should be addressed in a positive and loving way and covering up your scars may leave you feeling worse about yourself. You may wish to consider opening up a conversation with family and friends about why the self-harm is happening, so they can better understand why you have the scars, and help come up with some alternative coping mechanisms.

To hidden self-harm scars from family and friends, you could wear long-sleeved shirts and loose-fitting clothing to cover up your arms. You can also try using makeup to conceal the scars. Speak to your therapist if you're open to it and they may be able to help you come up with other strategies that work best for you.
