If it seems to be a current issue, then approach her in a non judgement and comforting manner. If it’s something from the past tho, maybe wait for her to come to you.

as someone with scars, if they seemed healed than i don’t think it’d be crazy to ask if you’re dating. if they’re fresh, in my opinion you should talk to her to make sure she’s safe.

I’m not an authority, but personally I’d wait for an opportunity to come up (maybe a convo about mental health in general or something) and make it clear that I hold no judgment towards people who have struggles. I’d let her come to me, but try and make it clear that I’d be welcoming. If you’ve seen the scars, then she probably isn’t too worried about hiding them, which is a good sign imo. If she tries to hide them, be prepared to be more delicate about the situation. She’s likely self concious

just say “hey i’ve noticed those makes, have you been doing okay lately?” or something like that. gauge her vibe and if you’re dating im sure it would be fine. just be sensitive, kind, and supportive about it
