I don't really have much personal experience or anything, but if I were you I'd probably say something along the lines of "It's personal and I'd really rather not discuss it" or "I went through a bad patch, and it's something I am trying to put in my past"
TBH it must be quite awkward! It's rather rude to ask somebody in the first place in my opinion.
They are your scars, and it's up to you whether you feel you should tell them what they are etc...
Sorry I don't have much advice.
But well done on not covering up etc... it's a big step to make *Nods*.
Take care. =]
