tw: Self Harm
I have old scars on my arm from self harm. And by old i mean about anywhere between 3-6 years old. But i’m a minor and i’m going to the doctors tomorrow, usually i’ll just wear long sleeves or a tight sweater/jacket but it’s summer here and it’s about 80-90° and that would be more suspicious. I guess what I wanna ask is what are the Hipaa laws in Virginia? Do doctors have to tell my parents even if they’re super old? Is there anyway I can hide them? Will she even point them out? I go to a pediatrics in Virginia if that helps.
Edit: Im 16 years old, 17 later this month and the scars are not flat, they’re all the elevated/puffy ones
