Hi can you advise me on a wound that has been there for about 2 an half weeks now its scabbed over but it very sore I self harm thanks
Surely that was what you wanted to happen.
Umm no
Can you explain the object of doing it and the satisfaction that it gives you?
Presumably there are SH Forums where you can get the answer from experienced Harmers?
Could be that your wound is infected but you probably don't want to see your doctor.
Hi Catherine, how is the wound now? If its oozing yellow pus or the area doesn't seem to be improving it could be that you have an infection. If this is the case only antibiotics would be the solution, so you would have to see your GP.
Can I ask... are you getting help off your GP or similar? If you aren't I would definitely recommend that you seek help.
Obviously I really hope that you don't self harm again, but if the worst happens make sure your wound is kept clean. If it's large or deep I suggest covering it with a sterile dressing and use antiseptic cream like savlon.
All the best, Amy.
