Tbh you're really unlikely to be triggering other people by having scars on show, if anything people might just be a bit wtf about it. As for scabs, I guess that would be ok. It all depends on what they look like and how noticeable they are, I suppose, and how comfortable you are about showing them.
In terms of sun safety it's probably not too wise to be exposing new scars to the sun, although I have heard people say that some sun can help things heal/fade quicker or something. I don't know if there's any scientific basis to that though.
It's maybe a bit unusual to be more concerned with triggering others than being self conscious about showing your semi-healed self inflicted wounds around people. Do your family and friends know you self harm?
