I covered up at work for a long time, but then decided to stop because it's hot and my uniform cardigan is scratchy. I had briefed my colleagues before I went in short sleeves, but I needn't have really.
I'm sorry your colleagues have commented. In my eyes that's unprofessional, whereas wearing short sleeves isn't. People have scars for all sorts of reasons and self harm shouldn't trap you in long sleeves wherever you work.
