Triggering (SI) - Cutting on scars
I'm feeling like that I don't wanna have more scars but still I can't totally stop SH.. not yet..
I was thinking that would it be more harmfull to cut over the old scars? Would they heal slower, or look more ugly.. is there any extra risks doing that..
Is there anything different of doing that?
If I get some more scars everybody would see through them.. which I don't wanna happen..
So, what do you think? What would happen if nothing?

That's also how I feel. I tend to just cut over the same scar all the time. It's not good though because it makes them a lot worse - I now have a big dent on the top of my wrist. When I was in hospital my individual worker said that I really shouldn't go over the same place all the time but I'm not sure why. Also, it's harder to tell how much damage you're doing. I can't say do or don't do it but just take care yeah x

Please be careful that this thread does not turn into a tip shraing thread. Members can not avise you where is best to injure yourself.
I can however say that cutting over old scars, generally tends to give you a slower healing time and can also often result in keloid scars forming.
You might wish instead to have a look at the informationcontained on the site regarding quitting.
Take Care

scars over scars
the thing with this is that those sacrs can become keloids, like Bitter Angel said, which are raised purplish scars that dont fade. to me mine are quite gross, other scars will fade to white evetually. this can result in infections as well.

Thank you!
I don't want keloids.. and I don't wanna find wounds healing slower..
bwah.. so I can't do that.. stupid urges and stupid wounds and stupid healing times!
Then I just need to fight a little bit more and cut even less than I already do.. which of course is good.. I'm so out of ideas.. sniff..

Yes...i've "run out of room" on one arm...its just scarred up and down my entire arm. I've cut through scars many times...it's like a regular cut IME. It does make the scars worse though...that's one negative....but *peels up sleeve and looks at arm* i've cut through many scars.
Like i said...its really just like making a regular cut, but what happens in the long run, is that you get all this scar tissue making up parts or your entire arm...as its just scar through scar....one of my arms is like this.
