I used to cut to. It just takes time for them to heal especially if you are a repeditive cutter.

But I also started cutting myself about a year ago and I have a bunch of scars but none of them hurt. Not even at the time I didn't feel them... o but I don't do that anymore. Because my brother don't want me to and even though my my boyfriend was always mad at me when I did which is why I did... I think he didn't want me to either.

That's weird because I stopped about 7 months ago and my scars don't hurt.
Maybe your just pressing too hard all together?

I have one scar that hurts and the rest don't... Im thinking maybe it depends on how deep they were

I only cut the top layer of skin most of the time so most of my scars are not badd

Ging1994, If you cut pretty deep then may be why the scars hurt. If you don't cut as deep then the scars (if any) won't hurt as bad.
**** And for anyone here who cuts... Please stop. Its not worth it. Why do you wish to harm yourself?****
