I don't know what to do, i've started placement (at the hospital) where i will spend the majority of the next 3 years. One of my forearms is quite badly scared, and i only really started taking notice of it whilst i was at the hospital. I have to wear scrubs so they don't even cover the elbow. Some of my scars are still very red, and i'm very conscious of them with the bright light and lack of clothing, i haven't been bothered until now as i've seen it as a sign of getting through difficult times (and it is preventing me from cutting my arms anymore) but i'm worried about what both patients and staff are going to say. When i'm putting monitoring equipment on patients or putting up drips i suddenly realise they can see and panic. I don't know what to do, my practice nurse recommended i either wear a bandage or ask my GP for camouflage but neither are really an option when in a sterile environment and bandaging would be really costly. I'm not sure what to do and its really upsetting me. I wish i never started self harming
