Copyright © 2022 by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, Inc. Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved..

BACKGROUND: Self-harm scars are a consequence of deliberate self-injury, serving as a visual reminder for involved individuals. Patients often reach out to their providers seeking treatment for their scars. However, there is currently no standard for treating self-harm scars, because multiple options are being explored.

OBJECTIVE: A scoping review was conducted to identify and characterize the body of literature on different treatments for self-harm scars, including surgical, laser, and vitamin A management.

METHODS: Thorough literature searches were conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL Complete. The search strategy was designed and implemented by a medical librarian.

RESULTS: Of 510 retrieved articles, 4 described laser treatments, 8 described surgical treatments, and 2 described vitamin A treatments.

CONCLUSION: A multidisciplinary approach is critical for the selection and outcome of the treatment of self-harm scars.
