How long will it take for a self-harm scar to fade? I think it was 2 mm deep. I really need to know. What can I do to speed up this process?
I have self-harmed on my forearm last year in February and March. My wounds varied from as shallow as your to cutting all of my layers of skin. I still have the scars, almost a year later, but some are more or less visible than others.When my mom found out she made me use creams to help the wounds heal, and it helped in scarring faster.

How long do self harm cuts take to fade?
i was 13 when i self harmed. but i was bad. mine were deep my shoulders my thighs my left wrist. on my wrist and shoulders i touched bone and they are still there. But i really wanted to hurt myself and bleed alot and end my life. i didn't want anyone to know. and when someone did find out (my friend grabbed my wrist when we were playing and i kept my razor blade under my wrist band it dug into my other already deep cuts and made me cry out. thats how they found out) when word got around that i was a cutter it became a trend everyone was showing off these little cat scratches on their wrist and they were so proud of them and everyones disappeared after a month or two. This was over 7 years ago. i've used mederma for scars and ever remedy you can think of. they are big raised ugly scars. and they will be with me until im an old granny. i wish i could tell my 13 year old self that it gets better and to not destroy my body but i cant. I'll never be able to wear an off the shoulder dress at my wedding like i always wanted.
How long does it take for self-harm scars to fade?
I have a loofa I scrub my scars with, just scrub them but not too rough. Then I have bath gloves that are a little rough for scrubbing so I go over the scars again with them while I'm scrubbing my whole self with a bit of a rough body scrub. There's several brands that make exfoliating body wash so just choose one you like. When I get out I rub Vitamin E into them. It does help but it takes time. It will help to make them fade tho. You can buy the capsules and snip them open or purchase a bottle of the pure oil. It is expensive but I've been using it for many years and it does work.Also, if at all possible talk to your mother about it. If you don't feel like you can talk to her directly, (If you’re still in school) speak with a school counsellor or the school nurse. Even a teacher you feel you can talk to or the principle if they aren't a uhmm… if they are someone you think you can talk to. Someone else gave the suicide hotlines and you can definitely call them. Even if you just wanted to hurt yourself but not kill yourself you can still call them. They are ready to deal with whatever kind of problems you're experiencing. You can do this. Let people help you learn how to cope in a different way. You're worth it and I have faith in you. Have faith in yourself.
How long do self harm cuts on thighs take you heal?
I think usually about 6-8 weeks with the cuts you are describing. Because first it's fresh for a little bit, then the disgusting scab phase, then the scab falls off and it's the purple scar. Then you have got to allow a lot of time for the scar to completely fade into just a white scar. If you care for them properly the healing process can be a lot quicker. You said they are almost gone but still visible, most scars never completely fade. You'll always be able to see it. But, you will be able to see it because you know it's there. Most people are too unobservant and will never even notice. I'm here for you if you want to talk. shh.i.self.harm.too@gmail.com http://shh-i-self-harm-too.tu...

Ways to self harm without cutting?
I know you said you've tried the ice/salt combination, but have you tried simply sticking your hands in a bowl of ice water? Burns like crap after half a minute or so. I've also heard people mention biting on extremely sour/bitter foods or hot peppers. I checked out this site: http://www.bibri.com/selfinjuryifo/sivaltn.htm They have a list of about 60 things you can do to keep from cutting. I think a good idea they mention is to make a list of alternatives and post it up somewhere you can find it easily so when the urge hits you aren't scrambling trying to distract yourself. You've already got some options in place. Good luck, and don't forget to be proud of yourself for seeking help in the first place. That takes courage!
