But I guess that is the smart thing to do, if you realize it's getting to the point that it's effecting you badly, then you probably should. Do you know if most companies have that policy?
What do you think the worry about you or someone who's like you, who seems perfectly happy, exposing your scars compared to someone who's more usually "negative" seeming would be?

I feel like someone who seems perfectly happy would get a bigger reaction that someone who usually seems negative. They'd both get concern, but I just feel that i'd be questioned more because it would be thought to be "unlike me".
I don't know if all companies have that policy but I make sure to go to HR and read through their policies when I have time with every job. Knowledge is power.
I don't think they would see scars and fire you on the spot.
However, depending on the people you have over you - they could interpret self harm as an inability to be able to manage/cope with stressful situations which could result to you losing your job in a "covering our own butts" kind of company.
Lastly, from what i've learned working at the hospital - if someone asks you to show your scars
you have the right to refuse. Granted, they may try to match your level of stubbornness, but they can not legally force you to strip unless you're being like arrested or something.
