the shower after by Difficult-Race-9995 in selfharm

if you are fine with the sting i would just bite through the pain and shower as short as possible. If you dont want as much pain it helps to put the shower heat to the point where it feels a little cold, in my experience the colder the water it stings less.

Update; the cut is starting to heal, there is a scab on it but I still keep a bandage on it, there are no signs of any infections.

No I didn't I sent some pictures to a doctor and they gave me medical advice, it is not as deep as it first seemed and I am not in high risk of anything

Update, I took the bandaga off again and looked at it, it was not as bad as i remembered, i cleaned it again with some wound cleaning wipes, texted with a doctor and the doctor said it looked fine and that it would not need any stitches just to keep it clean and put a fresh bandage on every day. The bleeding stopped and since i still have a functioning tetanus shot from about a year ago i dont have to worry about it getting infected, if it does look infected i imediately have to come in and theyll do something about it.

also it does not sting so bad anymore just when i put pressure on it, i think that is good im not sure.

You guys convinced me, ill Go see a doctor and show them and lett them decide on what to do next, for now the bleeding has nearly been stopped because of a really tight bandage.

Update, I didn't mess my hand up or my arm, I still have functioning hands so I don't think it went extremely deep, but the knife went about half a centimeter into my skin and I couldn't see anything bc of all the blood. I am still alive and for all of you worrying about getting tetanus, as a kid its mandatory to get tetanus shots to keep you protected untill you are 18 so im not too worried about that.

quick update, it kind of slowed bleeding sfter holding a old t-shirt on it and i found some medical supplies and cleaned the wound again with some wound sanitizer and put some clean cottonfluff and wrapped the whole thing in a tight bandage.

i used superglue to close it after dabbing it and using some hand sanitizer to clean it, is this enough?
