I read the subject title of the post and I felt for you immediately... I feel the same way. I'm not an extremely frequent cutter either, but from times when I have done it, the scars are still there... I started with my wrists but I play the violin and it was very hard to hide it from my violin teacher who wanted me to play without a watch or bracelets. I moved to my hips but what's going to happen if I get into a relationship one day? They have not faded, I think it is because of my pale skin. It also really depends on what kind of skin you have. I feel like people who are more tan have a better chance of the scars being less visible, it is really variable amongst differing skin types. Vitamin E is supposed to help :P
