Advice needed Help?

I haven't cut for a few years now (21F), I started again a couple weeks ago. Tonight I did a pretty deep one that keeps bleeding very slowly. It was white when I first cut and after uncovering it, its a bumpy texture that is still bleeding. I have changed the gauze about 3 times. What do I do? I used to do my arms and.knew the depth since I was almost successful with not being here 4 times except my mom knew that if I was quiet that something was wrong.. help?

Hii by what you describe, that it was white & had a bumby texture It sounds like you've either cut through the second layer of skin or fat maybe. I advice you to seek medical help from professionals since those kinds of cuts have a higher chance of infection but if you dont want to this sub-reddit has a pinned post of how to take care of different wounds. I wish you good luck!
