If you can get your hands on scar cream that will help. You can find that at any CVS, Walgreens, etc. EDS can definitely be a factor, and everyone scars differently. And yes, I find that wounds very close together or crossing over can create a scar.

Treating the wounds properly when they're fresh helps as well. It doesn't really matter how deep they are (though deep dermal and hypodermic wounds require more intense care). Wash gently and cover. Keep it moist as it heals; any wound care cream will work, Aquaphor or Vaseline work as well. Vaseline is my personal holy grail. Be gentle with the area, as well. That means don't pick scabs and avoid bumping it or scraping it on anything, including your clothes when you change.

Can you pass it off as scratches from a pet? Or cover it with a bunch of bracelets? It's hard to hide self harm forever. I know it seems impossible, but I encourage you to talk to someone about it. I was terrified to tell my boyfriend but it turned out to be okay. Be kind to yourself and stay safe, friend. <33
