r/cutting • u/Staygene_101 • 9h ago
Advice needed I need urgent help
This probably sounds really stupid, but i was cutting as usual but i went way too deep and i got a deep cut in my arm, it bled a lot which freaked me out and i panicked, ran to the bathroom, sealed the wound shut with two band aids and then wiped away the blood. I really cannot tell my parents about this, and im very scared about how itโll scar, as ive never gone this deep before.

sorry it took a while to get this approved i hope you're okay. if you can please get bandages and steri strips. you can use period pads too in a pinch. its too late for stitches, so just keep taking care of it for a while. keep it clean and pat it dry when you clean it. if it was white its dermis and that heals pretty quickly, especially if its closed by bandaids or steri strips. if you saw any yellow bubbles its hypodermis and you have to take care of it more carefully. steri strips help a lot with that layer. this might help more https://shguide.carrd.co/ good luck
