If you're darker skinned, dunno.

If you're lighter skinned, maybe contracttubex or kojic acid cream & soap might help.

Wrap them in cloth or bandages and pretend it's some new fashion

Use a cheese slicer to remove the top layers of skin.

PROTIP: Scar tissue is permanent. There is no way to rid yourself of scar tissue without a total skin graft.

If it's all over your forearms, and deeply scarred, you're pretty much hosed.

Laser therapy or cutting having the scars cut out and then stitched shut properly might make the scars a little less visible. Petroleum jelly might help as well. But getting rid of the scars altogether probably won't happen.

See a dermatologist.

Try a scar lotion.
Miderma is supposed to be good, but only if you use it just as the package says to. It might be a little pricey, but I've heard it works.

Mederma, you mean.

And contractubex is by the same company. Pretty much merderma + some onion extract stuff that has also been proven to have and affect, so it works better with old scars, for one. It's popular in Asian countries for acne scars and whatnot.

Skin lightening/complexion evening stuff in general will probably work/help. Just only apply it to the scar area. I've personally used kojic acid cream and soap on bad acne scars and saw results, but I dunno about wrist scars...

I hear rubbing in salt in the wounds gives a nice sensation.

DONT CUT YOURSELF IN THE FIRST PLACE is the best solution ofcourse. life is hard.

I use First Aid Antibiotic stuff when Its first cut, it helps not to leave a scar. And after that just apply it daily and use mederma, too.

If you do it, please stop.

i think he's saying that he used to do that, and now sees the scars as just ridiculous, so i don't think he's still doing it.

it would be kinda silly if he carved teardrops and HATEHATEHATE in his arns, then went in for a job interview...

OKAY I FOLLOWED YOUR ADVICE AND TRIED UNCUTTING MYSELF BY RUNNING THE KNIFE BACKWARDS OVER MY ORIGINAL SCARS
UNFORTUNATELY HOWEVER THIS ONLY REOPENED THE WOUNDS
ANY OTHER BRIGHT IDEAS????

I have the same problem OP. I cut many years ago, very very deep. It won't ever heal I'm afraid; your scars will always be visible without expensive surgery.
