You should only put make up, bio oil and moisturiser on scars not open and fresh cuts as it could lead to infection and then they will take longer to heal and leave bigger scars.

Treating the cuts properly will increase healing time and reduce the scarring. There is useful info in this thread http://www.teenhelp.org/forums/f12-s...d-information/
and I would recommend using cream like savlon. Here are a load of different antiseptic washes, wipes and creams that you can use.
I would also recommend covering the cuts with bandages or plasters depending on the size and depth of the cuts. I know they make it more obvious and people will ask questions but it is what is best for the healing process.
