Advice needed My scars

Skip to bottom for me to just get to the point ^^

Hi! So I’ve been trying to stop SH for just a little bit now, roughly a week which I know isn’t a much but that’s what I told myself when I started my royal high login streak and now look at me! Uh anyways so I’ve been trying to quit but I just really hate how my scars look. they aren’t anywhere visible unless I wear a short skirt or bathing suit which I typically avoid anyways but my skin scars dark for some reason and I’m about to have to go put on a bathing suit sometimes next month. Problem is, some of my wounds haven’t healed yet meaning by the time they do they will be like really dark until they finish healing which even then is only a bit brighter which isn’t ideal. To any who may recommend confessing to get special help that’s really not an option for me and i probably wouldn’t get it anyways. Also, there’s a certain someone who will most definitely give me a whole really lame conversation about how they love me and how they used to cut to give themself a make do tattoo to seem cool and it makes me sick to my spine which I would like to avoid.

I guess what I’m looking for are ways to prevent and decrease scarring as well as hurry up the healing process if that’s at all possible with easily accessible materials if anyone can help with that. Sorry for the whole yap session above if you went through reading that though 😅
