Hiding Self-Inflicted Cuts: Makeup & Bandage Options

There are several ways to hide cuts from self-injury without wearing long-sleeved shirts:

: Makeup:

- Use concealer that closely matches your skin tone.

- Dab a small amount of the concealer directly onto the cut.

- Blend the concealer in with a brush or sponge until the cut is covered.

- Consider using liquid bandage for cuts

Bandages:

- You can get bandages in various skin tones that may also be useful in covering cuts.

Scars:

- If the cuts have left scars, you can try scar reduction creams, silicone sheets, or laser treatments to reduce their visibility.

Wearing accessories strategically:

- Use bracelets or wristbands to cover cuts on your wrist

- Wear a scarf if the cuts are on your neck

- Wear tights if the cuts are on your legs

Keep in mind that these are temporary solutions and not a replacement for addressing self-injury or any underlying issues. It's important to seek help from a trusted adult, counselor, or mental health professional if you are struggling with self-injury or any mental health concerns.
