DD has managed to mostly stop SH after 2 years of determined cutting. She couldn't get hold of razors so she used pencil sharpener blades, can lids and bits of glass. Many of her cuts got infected, many needed stitching or butterflies (which she would pull out ). MHwise, she is in a much better place and has been discharged from CAMHS. But now it's as if she has woken up to her appearance, and her arms are an absolute mess with a lot of scarring, many of them are keloid. She is hoping to follow a career which involves being 'bare below the elbows'. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about using make up or whether surgery is an option?
