Over time, marks slowly heal. Though they turn into scars, Some scars will fade over even more time. They may become invisible to the naked eye but they will always be there, lingering about and reminding you. Sometimes you are able to move past them and forget about them. Sometimes you need help in order to do so.
They will. It takes a lot of time, but they will fade to a certain point. Take care about them, because you are important and so are your marks. It may take a lot of time to heal and to fade, but there are a few (actually a lot) oils and stuff that may help.
Yes, over time the marks will most likely heal and yes, even the emotional scars will heal. Just give it time and be patient with yourself :)
You marks will heal - your scars, mentally or physically, they will heal over time.
All marks will get lighter and all cuts will eventually heal. Keep cuts clean and covered and never use dirty instruments. You can get a cream to help scars lighten.

It depends on how deep they are. If they're really deep, you'll most likely have a lump-type scar that won't leave. If you barely went deep, then your marks should heal, it might take a couple of months though.
After a while I think that my scars will eventually fade and I'll be a bit happier to know that it's gone
Yes. They take time to heal though. A few days, a few weeks, maybe even a month, but your marks will heal. Especially if you use proper healing techniques.
