Will a doctor ask about my self harm if they notice it?? - December 10th 2017, 10:46 PM
Help please - I'm so worried. I have a appointment with a rheumatologist consultant in 3 days for my joints and they'll have to examine my hands and wrists. Last week I self harmed again and scraped my hand and arm with a [edited] and now I'm left with pretty noticeable cuts/scars - particularly on my hand. It was as so stupid of me and I'm so annoyed with myself for doing it.

There's no way the doctor won't notice dark red lines on my hand. Will they say anything? I'm 17 and my mum will be with me. I don't want to talk about it with the doctor and I absolutely do not want my mum finding out.

So will the doctor say anything and is there any way I could get rid of the scars before wednesday??
