Is someone hurting you?

Also i do not recommend hurting yourself further...

Not anymore,it's a long story that doesn't matter anymore,I just need to cover it with another injury that won't look like self harm

Honestly, embrace your scars. If anyone asks about it you don't owe it to them to tell them your story.

If you are self conscious about it I'd recommend getting a tattoo over it.

This person's problem is that the military will not allow them in if they believe them to be self-harming.

If it’s in a noticeable area that I dunno but otherwise maybe just clothes cover it?

the clothes thing won’t matter because you have to get a full physical done before you’re able to enlist, so they’d see them at some point.

i would just talk to your recruiter about it tbh. if they ask, you may have to explain how they happened. and since you say they aren’t actually scars from self-harm, you should be fine.
 
If it was domestic violence or violence done to you then tell the truth. They cannot discriminate against a survivor. However, covering up a scar with another scar (self-inflicted at that) isn’t going to fool them nor is it healthy.

But the problem is, is that it looks like I self harmed myself and I wouldn't believe someone that said oh yeah I got it from this one girl I had relations with in the past,she was into hurting me for sexual satisfaction

No, only if they reference controversial things like the K K K or something.

Can't, if I do it'll push back my date I have and I'll have to get another physical and possibly not pass it again
 
Depends on how bad the scar looks. If they believe it’s self infliction then they can back away and reject you. Worst thing to do is try and hide the scar with an actual self inflicted scar. Just explain the situation to them as best as you can.

Best of luck!
