The entire point of the behavior is that you can't keep it a secret. Some may do it on a level which is secretive compared to others, but even then it's relative. The question is, then, whom do they wish to keep this a secret from and why?
For some, I'd say they want to make it anything but blatantly obvious so people will only realize it after they've some sort personnel connection. The logic being, people will easily dismiss and try to avoid becoming involved in the life of an individual who does self mutilation; whereas, if you've a connection to a person, you're more likely to contribute to the pity party.
