I've been in a similar situation. Are both arms covered? because if not you can get away with only showing one arm. Wear a jacket and only take one sleeve out. I was made to take my whole jacket off once in order to get weighed and i just stood with my arms crossed and somehow got away with it. Go in without your mum and that way your parents may not have to find out. They have to enforce confidentiality so they won't tell your parents if you don't want them too, but of course if they are in there with you they will find out.

Well, use the arm that has the least cuts on them. Are they cuts or scars? if they are scars you may be able to cover them with make-up.

Ok, well try and cover up what you can with make-up, and the rest maybe you can make excuses for?

Are you concerned about your parents seeing them or the doctor? To tell you the truth, the doctor probably won't even give you crap about it even. They might ask if they notice, but unless they're very concerningly deep, they won't do anything. If you don't want your parents knowing, then you should be concerned with keeping them hidden. But really, I don't see how you could get around it otherwise, since you're getting your blood drawn as well, most likely from your arm. But I go everywhere in short sleeves, including my doctor, dermatologist, therapist, etc. with some pretty bad scars on my my inner arms and wrists, and never have I come across anyone even giving me trouble for them when they see them. The only times I've gotten even a negative comment from a doctor are when I get cuts stitched up, but then they actually have a reason to get a little mad at you...

Let them fade over these few days and dont do any fresh cuts,
then cover them up with make-up/ maybe even you might get away with a tight
long sleeved top?
Anyway good luck, and if its because you dont want your parents
to see you can ask them if you can go in on your own. And the doctor
may ask about them but you never know it could be for the best?
Always here xx

Or... Write on your arms so you can't see it. Stuff people usually write on there arms at school. just try not to write on it where they are going to be taking blood because they will have to wash it off.
