Triggering (SI) - Question about scratch healing and concealing

[misunderstoodjen]

Ok, I know this was stupid, but I was feeling really depressed and out of control all day, and I'd already cut myself once today, areal cut deep enough to bleed, and I didnt want to do that again. But I needed to cut really badly so I decided to just scratch my skin with the razor blade, instead of cut deep, and ended up scratching way to much on my arm. I guess it was becuase I didnt think the scratches would show up since they werent deep cuts. Now I have a problem, since it is summer, and these scratches are very obvious and `cant be confused with cat scratches, like they normally are. Does anyone know ways to make them heal faster and ways to conceal them? Thanks

if the skin isnt broken you could probably put concealer on them to cover them

If it has broken the skin then it is best not to use any product on the area apart from anti-septic cream or that are designed for use on wounds. Also, keep them covered with dressings.

If the skin isn't broken at all and just reddensed then you can use concealers/ foundation/ whatever as effervescence has said

You can also wear a thin long sleeved blouse over a vest top. I've got some hippy indian style ones that do the job very well.
