How long until self inflicted wounds heal? ?!
Question: How long until self inflicted wounds heal? ?
I do not want my parents to see my arm at all.
I have 18 cuts that are not that deep...
Answers:
Any wound takes time to heal, cuts usually about a week. You should wash the wounds to make sure they are clean and use antibiotic cream or ointment to kill bacteria and help the healing. But to be honest here, there will be scars, you cannot prevent them from showing, and they will be red at first and then pink - and quite obvious for probably a month or so.
EDIT: Don't use peroxide, that causes the edges of the skin to fray a bit and the scarring is worse.
Stop cutting yourself and get help (I mean that in the nicest way possible)
I suggest you tell your parents so you can get some counseling.
Just trust me, I know it's the internet but really that's gotta stop. And also self inflicted gashes are like any other, it depends on the depth of them really, the deeper they are the longer it takes, if your a quick healer it could take possible 2 weeks to a month depending on the depth of them.
ABOUT 2 WEEKS USE PEROXIDE SO THEY WILL HEAL FASTER BUT SELF INFLICTED WOWWW 18 THATS A BIG NUMBER IM 27 AND NEVER DROVE A CAR NEVER HAD A GIRLFRIEND HARDLY WORKED IN STILL LIVE AT HOME TAKE IT SECOND BY SECOND DAY BY DAY MINUTE BY MINUTE DO YOU WANT IT THE WAY IT WAS 21YRS AGO BEFORE YOU WERE BORN WITHOUT A VOICE DEATH IS HARDER THEN LIFE DO YOU LIKE MAGETS THATS IN EVERY CASKET PLUS YOUR FAMILY LOVES U AND WOULD MESS U ATLEASE CAUSE HELLL
It depends how bad they are..
if they're not that deep, just like bad scratches, I'd say a month for it to turn into skin colour again.
but like the other person said, it will leave a scar.
I suggest you do get help, luckily I stopped before I really got addicted, I hope you have the willpower to do so. Good look lovely, try watching this video if it helps.
