Ok so, I hadn't cut for 46 days... and then like four days ago I did...moment of weakness. Anyway, so I have REALLY faint, faint white scars above my elbow, and three scars that look like the cat did it on my left wrist. So, I'm trying to put this behind me but it's hard to do when I can see scars....best way to heal them without like scar cream?

I hear that aloe vera does well to fade scars. Especially the natural aloe from the plant. Not sure how accurate that is, though.
Good luck!

I use Bio oil on my scars and luckily its helped some of them fade quite a lot to the point where they're barely even noticable. But it works on some scars better than others. Usually the smaller, shallower ones. Its expensive stuff but its well worth it.

I use bio oil, and i also find moisturising it helps too :)
They will fade overtime, but for now try to keep it covered. 46 days is amazing by the way, you can get back up to that and further!

Well, it seems like your scars fade naturally fast, they're already scarring after four days? Mine take at least a week to heal...
This (http://www.scarsoff.com/how-to-get-rid-of-scars-naturally/) site gives pretty good advice.
1 – Honey:
You can include honey in your diet, as well as apply it directly on the scared area
2 – Tomato Paste:
You should eat fresh tomatoes always and put some slices on the affected area for about 20 to 30 minutes before taking a bath
3 – Uses of Aloe Vera:
Aloe Vera plants are easy to find, especially in swampy areas. Of course you can also buy them. Just pluck one out of the branches, squeezed the gel out and apply it on the scared area every morning and night.
4 – Hydration:
Hydration involves drinking a lot of germs free water. It might not seem obvious, but this has a positive effect on your skin.
5 – Green leaf:
Green leaf vegetable consumption is another good way for getting rid of acne/acne scars naturally. Green leaf freshens up skin tissues and body glands.
6 – Apple Cider Vinegar:
Just go ahead and mix 1-part Apple Cider Vinegar and 1-part water, then leave it on your face for about 12 to 18 minutes before washing off.
7 – Cocoa butter also helps with scars
8 – Vitamin E:
Vitamin E is very great for getting rid of scars. To use it, just follow these steps:
- Purchase vitamin E in any form (oil or capsule)
- Go ahead and clean the scar or wound (cleaning should be thorough).
- Put on some oil onto a cotton swab.
- Dab the vitamin E oil on the scar or wound.
- Go ahead and Cover-up the area with a light layer of gauze

Surprisingly, I found lemon juice the best. I cut a lemon in half and rubbed it on my scars, and a lot of the worst ones started to fade. It didn't completely get rid of them, I doubt anything will, but it made a lot of them go white around the edges a lot faster than any of my other ones had done when I was using bio oil.
Bio oil is really good for the ones that were shallow-ish. The ones where the edges weren't apart, if that makes sense?
