I have a friend that feels compelled to hurt herself. She uses a rubber band around her wrist. Snaps it when she feels the need and also uses a pen to write on herself in place of scars. She told me it was always in her power to make the change. To be the change. I think her past haunts her but she has faced those fears . I wish you the same courage as her. I know it was hard and it will be hard for you.
They’re basically cat scratches, I don’t see any fatty tissue or bleeding so none of the cuts are going past the dermis. Keep it clean and bandaged. If you have antibiotic ointment use a bit of that. Wash the wound with soap and warm water and change the bandage every day and you’ll be fine. The cuts are pretty minor.
@MarmeeMarch Yeah I forgot being able to self-treat minor cuts and scrapes is forbidden knowledge only taught by wizards in medical school. Calm your ‘tism.
@TheLastPlague Oh I self treat myself - but I am smart enough not to spout off some general medical advice - suppose she is allergic to something that you dont know of. Keeping it clean of course is just common sense.
@SW-User Thank God I didn't do it many times. It was just one time. But it's not my thing. At this moment I can't afford to try such things. I believe in trying good things in life. 🙂
I have read that the financer to the guy that discovered King Tut's tomb, Lord Carnarvon nicked himself while shaving, it got infected - he caught pneumonia and died. Just a little FYI.

Stop cutting yourself. It can leave bad affects on the skin. Did you apply any ointment yet? Go to doctor.
