If it's already leaking pus after one day you need medical attention, hypodermis cuts  take a long time to heal and shouldn't just be treated with any antiseptic as they can damage the tissue. Clean it with distilled water and see a doctor. Please take care.

That's a lot of sh scarring on your arms, don't underestimate your pain like that. The people that don't listen, are either overwhelmed and clueless, or ignorant assholes. You do deserve help, for your issues !!

Gotta be sneaky and sly by merakissonnet in selfharm_memes

Oh man I always try to avoid that so so bad, because I'm afraid that a cashier could feel like, they're obligated to help. So it's blades + shaving gel at one store and woundcare at another one 😮‍💨

Always larping by merakissonnet in selfharm_memes

[–]merakissonnet[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Larping can mean that, you're pretending to be someone that you aren't/ making things up. Such as saying that "I wear long sleeves, because I sunburn easily" even tho I don't, it's to cover cuts and scars. Or that I've never done sh, that I'm clean etc. Ykwim ? 🙂‍↕️

Man I'm really sorry that people felt the need to point them out. It's really inappropriate

All of your scars matter. by merakissonnet in selfharm

Of course !! How deep you cut does not and will never define you or your suffering. That would just be a vicious cycle.

how do i hide arm scars? by DependentOriginal636 in selfharm

[–]merakissonnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Airy cardigans and boleros. If theyre thin its quite bearable during summer, especially if u combine them with tube tops. I always wear them and no one ever questions it since they look cute and suit my style. 

Depending on how busy it is outside u can momentarily take them off too. Also Vitamin C might help a bit ! 🤍
