This may surprise you but Dr Maxwell Maltz (who wrote Psycho-Cybernetic) tell us that people can be proud of having scars... as it can be a sign of courage or surviving an ordeal successfully...
Since your scars were self-inflicted... you may pursue that avenue... you obviously lived through some very rough times and came out of it a winner... so, why not decide to be proud of those scars rather than be shamed by them...???
I'd would love to have your take on that...
