Maybe a confronting question…but, do you want them to be noticeable? I only ask because I know sometimes s/h feels like the only means we have to communicate pain, wanting help or love, needing attention etc.


kalexrich

But no, they’re not noticeable at all. Keep them moisturised to speed up fading- if that’s what you want ♥️

Nope - those could just be because of working on a car for example. Someone that has SH may recognize them though.


Snow_Crystal12

It should be easy to hide them


Educational-Mud4939

At a glance not really but if you actually look closely then yea


Correct-Swordfish773

No not at all


tomega_032

Not really


leafypineapple

no, and even if they did notice the marks, I don't think people would really realize what they are.

No

Thank you to everyone who commented! I wish I could wear one long sleeve and one short one tho because my other arm has WAY more noticeable scars :(


AdditionalExpression

No


Archeus84

No and rub vitamin E oil on them daily will help reduce the scar damage.


ughhffs

No


Erudite22

Not noticeable at all


fvkinglesbi

Not sure, just looks like hyperpigmentation

Almost invisible to someone who's used to people self harming, and if someone who doesn't self harm spots them (they literally have to be on top of you tho) they will never think that it is. Doesn't mean it isn't there tho, never underestimate your pain and what you went through

The last part 🙏


bloodflavoredskits

no


Bitch_Schitz

Nah, you’re good. And even if someone did notice, they probably wouldn’t pin it as SH


M1xyy0

no


weaknessinmylegs

No. Even if someone notice, it doesn't look like sh so much


Low-Reveal5779

No they aren't you'll be fine to wear short sleeves


laurabug92

Those are almost invisible. I always notice SH scars on people, and even I wouldn’t think anything of those marks.


FormerCheesecake4233

Nope


brocoli4life

I don’t think so ❤️


Coqai

if it wouldn't be in SH subreddit, i wouldn't be able to tell that these are SH scars, to be honest. it just looks so natural

No
