Self cut scars can be treated with different methods depending on type of scars.If there is pigmentation we need to give creams or do chemical peels to reduce it so that it becomes less visible.If the scar has some raised areas we can give some injections to flatten that.Combination of treatments are needed to make it less visible.Send clear pics for detailed advice or consult qualified dermatologist for best treatment plan.

Do not rub that area as that may worsen pigmentation. Do not try to clean vigorously and do not use scrubber.
