Get a face cloth and pack ice into it (or if you have frozen peas or an ice pack use them) and hold it on the area this should take away the redness and pain, I'm assuming that you did this within the last half an hour? If this is the case I wouldn't think they would be infected so make sure to keep the wounds really clean and apply antiseptic on them and bandage it up during the day and allow air to get to it when you have the opportunity before and after you take off and then re-apply the bandage clean the area and apply more antiseptic do this until the wounds have scabbed over and don't don't DON'T pick at the scabs = p.

Unfortunately other than that there isn't much you can do and if they are fresh wounds they are bound to hurt for at least the first couple of days they are healing.

Watch out for any

- Pussing
- red streaking around the area
- The area feeling hotter than the rest of your body

if you get any of these symptoms go straight to the doctor

I won't give you a lecture because I don't want to be a hypocrite but maybe you should see someone and resolve the underlying issues that cause you to harm your body.

To cure the ones that are troubling you right now, put Neosporin on them with a couple of Band-Aids.
The only way to cure the ones in the future is to not inflict any harm upon yourself in the first place!
I know that to you it seems perfectly reasonable to be cutting yourself, but it is NOT!
There are other ways to deal with problems..



They need a proper dressing then you need to see your doc who will refer you to a psychologist for some cognitive tests and thearpy you will also be refered to see a psychiatrist or mental health team.please.make the effort to sort your problems out because there is help out there and you will get through this hard time in your life so stay strong and believe in yourself.good luck.



You need treatment right away. Both mental and physical. Go to the nearest Emergency Room and tell them what happened. Things will get better.

Just stop inflicting wounds upon yourself. The most obvious way to stop the pain. See a psycaitrist
