Q2A

Got a quick question asking......

How can you hide scars from self harm? xx

This is our reply.......

If you are willing to go, your doctor will probably prescribe special make up which
covers up scars. You might have to go for an appointment at a clinic for it. If you don't
want to go to the doctor you could try normal foundation or nude lipstick. Vitamin E cream
and calendula cream are both supposed to be quite good too.
Other ideas are to use bracelets and sweatbands, or tubigrip like you would use if you have sprained your arm, or a long sleeved top under a short sleeved one.
If you do still need to self harm then please do talk to someone about it, we would be glad
to hear from you again.
