Infected cut?

2018-09-12 17:23:50
So I self harm, (I know I should stop, that’s not what I’m here about) and a while ago I cut deeper than I have before. I think it could be infected and have tried various sites to get an answer but I can find one. Is it infected?

I understand your problem Firstly, you need to understand if the cut is kept open , not cleaned properly, proper bandage with all aspetic precautions are not done..it will get infected. My advice will be , u should visit any nearby health centre...show your wound to the doctor there ...get your first aid properly... And dont try such self harming things ..at the end you are the one at loss.
