Scar revision surgery is very restricted in the UK for people who self harm (probably bearing in mind the rates of relapse, etc.). It is however available privately (I know BUPA do it) and your doctor might be able to make an exception (or offer you other treatment, like silicone gel) if it is particularly affecting you.

You can remove hypertrophic scars, but there will be a (smaller) scar left in it's place.

There's an old thread here about it.

	It doesn't matter where you come from; it matters where you go. No-one gets remembered for the things they didn't do. We won't all be here this time next year, so while you can take a picture of us. We're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
