Scars....

I have over 100 keloid scars due to self harm and now that i am older i would like to reduce/hide my scars as best as i can. They run all the way down my left arm, on the outside and on the inside. They are raised and about an inch long. I have been to my doctors but they are aweful and useless so i need some other type of help. I have tried Bio-Oil And scar make-up with no luck and recently my doctor gave me silicone sheets that i am to wear over my scars but unfortunetly, they are very unconfortable and itchy so they are a no go. I have been trying to do research on the internet but i am not getting very far.
I understand that i may have to go private as the NHS is not giving out treatments anymore but that is okay. I wake up every day and feel hideous, i'm 19 and i am constantly covered up. I feel ashamed and very embaressed, not about the s/h, just about the scars.
If anyone can give me some kind of advice on treatments, cost of treatments, their experiances and what hepled them, i would be utterly grateful.

I remember reading a thread earlier, with a similar issue, I'm not to sure if you have checked it out yet, or not, but I thought you might have found it useful looking through what other people have said!

I hope that helps a bit
I have been offered NHS treatment to deal with scarring; maybe it depends on the area, but I wouldn't assume that they can't help.
And I'm not sure if it's effective on keloid?
