My forearms are an elaborate network of tiny scars from getting scratched to hell at work. They tend to be silvery to start with but after a summer they tend to tan to a similar colour as the surrounding skin. Only the bigguns stay obvious.
I just use superglue(pound shop stuff is good) in my personal first aid kit to close the cut quickly and vaguely attempt to keep clean/moisturised with whatever is to hand.
The hardest ones to deal with are the ones on the back of my hand where I've had to dig the tips of thorns/splinters/brambles etc out with a knife. They take over a month to heal usually and end up with a small crater scar every time.
