I burnt myself

2017-11-11 06:17:07
I made four burns using a cigarette lighter on my arm. I had the flame on my skin for about 2 mins for each burn. The burns have turned a blackish/grey colour and I can't feel them when i touch them. I was just wondering was i should do anything about the burns or leave them. It was a form of self harm.
