Biceps? Wear baseball shirts, long sleeve tshirts & sweaters. It's winter anyway, isn't it? Just say you're cold all the time.

Depending on where the cuts are. Wrists? You're probably fucked. Try using makeup. It won't completely cover but it'll make it much less noticeable. If they're on your legs try to wear shorts that are long enough to cover them most of the time. If they're on your stomach just always wear a shirt. Next time, don't cut. You're strong enough. It's all going to be okay.

It ultimately depends on where they are. I suppose waterproof makeup could help a bit, though not entirely. There's also just various bracelets, armbands, and sweatbands that may work.This forum post might have some decent tips as well:http://www.teenhelp.org/forums/f78-self-harm/t252-%5Bcover-up-tips%5D/Good luck.

Theyre on my biceps

Everyone has suggested ways of covering it up, so I'll throw what I found out about healing them. Try not to pick at them, and treat them with anti-bacterial jelly or petroleum jelly so the cuts are airtight and the skin cells can heal more smoothly. If you meant that the cuts are actually scars, then I don't know how to make scars fade, basically only time.

The best way to hide cuts? Multiple bracelets. They won't stand out a lot and nobody will really notice. If you put Aloe Vera on them, they'll heal a lot quicker, too. But the ultimate way is to not cut. I'm not telling you how to live your life and I know every situation is different but it's not something you have to revert to. Be proud of who you are and love yourself because you're beautiful! Never let anyone tell you any differently because it's true. Some days will be good and some really suck but it's up to you to make every new day, a better one. Be brave and be strong! (:

Bio-oil has been my savoir, and if theyre on your biceps, yeah just wear one of those tee-shirt-swimming costume things

I've had experience with this. If the cuts are still red, you have to wait. Just keep a shirt until they heal. If the cut has turned into a scar, use bio-oil! It works great. There are even home made remedies you can find online! Instead of cutting, just draw on your body, it has the same effect, just with no scars. That really helped me. When I feel like cutting, I go take a shower or draw, I try to keep myself busy to distract myself. If your family still sees the scars, just say you were attacked by a cat, that excuse has worked for me :)
