Hey there

I would say that putting creams and such on open wounds wouldn't be the best idea. However, as soon as the wounds are healed over there shouldn't be a problem

Scar cream is available in many shops and it is supposed to dramatically reduce the appearance of scars Also, I've heard that lemon juice and vitamin E are good for fading scars also

You said that you're new to cutting, so I'm assuming there isn't too many scars. It's important that you try to stop cutting as soon as possible as it becomes an extremely addictive behavior quite quickly Have you taken a look at our list of alternatives ? They can be found here : http://www.teenhelp.org/forums/f12-s...ves-self-harm/ The alternatives are great for taking your mind off your urges to cut! You should give them a try Not all of them will work for you but there will be some that do work Don't give up until you find those few that work

I hope I've helped in some way
