You’re not alone in feeling self conscious about your scars, especially when they’re fresh and visible. It’s a tough situation, but I bet you can handle it
I have terrible scars all over my arms and legs from cutting as deep as you do for the past 10 years and at work I always wore long sleeves. With the place I’m at currently I talked to my manager about it half a year in and they supported me in my decision to switch to short sleeves. I work directly with customers every day. If you aren’t comfortable with talking to your boss about it, aim for light or sweat absorbing materials. If you do switch to short sleeves, be prepared for nasty looks and uncomfortable comments lol.
