Is Lindsay hurting herself?
The scratches — and what looked like a figure-of-eight burn on her right forearm — were revealed as the 20-year-old starlet left a showbiz bash MINUS the bandages and wristbands she has taken to wearing in recent weeks.
Shocked experts last night said the gouges bore all the hallmarks of a condition that afflicts increasing numbers of youngsters.
Mean Girls star Lindsay, who has battled anorexia and admits to taking drugs, also wore a plaster on a right finger at the party — which followed the World Music Awards on Wednesday at London’s Earls Court.
The Sun told yesterday how awards host Lindsay repeatedly fluffed her lines and was booed. She also fell down stairs — and organisers had to keep her and Paris Hilton apart.
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE PICS OF SCARS!!! GO HERE!
Expert Jan Sutton, who has written two books on self harm, said grimly: “The photographs have all the telltale signs.

“Some of the scars are fresh and just above those there are a number of injuries which look older. They are called keloid scars and are just beginning to disappear. It would be difficult to argue this is an accident as there are just too many scars.”
Lindsay has told in the past how she feared she would die after years of punishing her frail body. She recently confessed to having “hit rock bottom”. Last July she was taken to hospital while shooting her latest film Georgia Rules.
Lindsay admitted her eating disorder had returned to plague her, saying: “I was making myself sick. Sometimes being that thin doesn’t look healthy. I kind of didn’t realise that.”
The beauty, whose ex-lovers include Bruce Willis and Leonardo DiCaprio, added: “One time when someone asked me if I was OK I just started bawling.
“I knew I had a problem and just could not admit it. My arms were disgusting. I had no arms. I had people sit me down and say, ‘You’re going to die if you don’t take care of yourself’.”
What do you think? Is Lindsay hurting herself?
