Answers:
if u dont plan on showering or sweating through ur arms, then a concealer should do (best if Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage), worked for me when i was going through that really sad time, to cut urself is to be on the same side as people who intend to harm u, and lowering one's self to that degree is just stupid!.!. basically what i kept telling myself =p
i hope that works
ps: am giving u a star for making the decision of quitting =) ur really brave!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Try Bio Oil!. Or go to the chemist's and ask for advice!. U don't have to tell you were self harming :)
And don't be silly, don't cut yourself!. My scars were so bad that red marks stayed for a Very long time!. I had to wear long sleeved tops too!. Now 10 years later i have tattoos on my arms because the scars were impossible to remove by plastic surgery!.

You could use some makeup on your arm until the redness disappears!. That's what I used to use!. I strongly suggest you talk to a counsellor about your self harm, they will help you deal with your problems so you don't have any more urges in the future!. I've been self harm free for two years now and the best thing is to talk to someone, no amount of makeup will help you cover anything in the long run!. Trust me on this!.
I hope I've helped, take care!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You could try makeup - foundation or coverstick!. Go to a makeup counter and try out some on the inside of your wrist to get a good match!.
And I'm very glad you are not going to self-harm again!. xWww@Answer-Health@Com
