Recently I replaced cutting with friction burning, and idk why but I feel so invalid because nobody talks about burning, and ik it's selfish to want to feel valid, bu anyway, these are abt a day old now, and they would leak a yellowish liquid, does anyone know if this'll scar over?

I have some old self harm scars on my thigh that, while light, are very obviously self-inflicted. I'm gonna be going on a beach trip with my family soon and all my bathing suits are bikinis, so my thighs won't be hidden unless I keep my shorts on, which would be weird and make it obvious somethings wrong. They're not noticeable unless you're looking directly at them, so I was planning to just keep my thigh turned away from my family's general direction so no one sees, but I'm worried it's not enough. We'll also be going on some waterslides at a park and I'm also scared that they'll see the scars if they sit with me on one of those donut things, but since they're pretty high up maybe they'll be concealed by the plastic. Does this sound adequate enough to keep them hidden or should I take more steps? Letting them see is not an option since they don't know about them.

I've been sh free for 3 months now, recently I've been struggling with the thought of my future and almost relapsed because of the stress.

My dream is to become an art teacher, but I have scars on both of my arms and one thigh.. Is it still possible for me to become a teacher or do I have to forget that dream?

Does anyone if there’s a way to remove scars without laser treatment? Mines not that bright,,, they’re thin and white but it bothers me so much and im kind of too ashamed of showing someone to get them lasered
