um, wel as u guys no i self harm every no wn then, but ive had this fuckin hole in my arm for over a week now and it wont heal and it all goin septic, green, and fucked up, and it startin 2 kinda scare me a bit. it about as big as a 5 p piece, bout 1 millimeter deep, but it not like a cut or gash, it more like ive taken out a chunk of flesh and just left a hole. it looks all fuckin weird and it freakin me out a bit as well. and it weird coz it dont bleed, it just kinda seeps out random gooey shit, but i can kinda see the holes where my pores would b if i stil had skin there. sorry if im grossin anyone out <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/frown.gif">. i put tcp on it a bit after i did it, and left it open, and i bin pttin antiseptic gel on everyday, but it stil not helain up and wen i had a bath earlier the scab came off, but it not liek a scab it like a layer of shitty green skin, and then all thsi gooey stuff was seepin out. so i washed it with warm water, and put on this absorbant pad that ment to absorb all liqiudy stuff, and then put a bandage and micropore ove rit to hold it in place coz thats what teh pack said to do.
so if anyone has any help/tips/advice etc on that then id b well grareful, and hopefully less stupid as to do it again anytime soon <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/frown.gif">

Dettol is inactivated by blood.
You need to visit your GP charley, you could heve an infection & may need antibiotics. In the mean time, get some teatree oil & dilute it 4 drops in a pint of cooled, boiled water. Use this to bath your arm but please please, get to your GP.

A wise man is always happy to be corrected
did u get it from ur dog or sumint?
if so have u had a tetanus lately, preferably in the last 10yrs, cause thats also v.v.v.important.
hope it heals asap.
luv H.xxxxxx
sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry
Well from personal experience, I found that scratches healed slower with cream, or plasters, and that putting some dressing on it works wonders cos it gives it a chance to dry...
The goey stuff is puss, dead white blood cells, this could mean you have an infection so if it isn't better in a few days get it checked out.
take care
well um actually i half bit it and half burnt it in with a lighter.
anyway cheers guys im off 2 the doc 2moro, dunno what im gonna say to her tho.
ok here comes the dodgy bit (no helly, not doggy), right my mum and dad saw it and they asked me how i did it. so like a twat the first thing i said was that i burnt it at school on hot glue (!), and they were like "oh". only now its gettin all dodgy she keeps askin me to report it and askin me if any teachers knew, and she keeps on at me coz itll leave a scar. thing is i dont know whether to just admit it to her straight that its self inflicted, or do i keep lyin to her. some of u know that we havnt exactly bin on the best speaking terms for the past few months, so i dunno if that would make it better or worse. i ythink she might hav saw a few cuts in the half term holidays coz i was in bed and my arm was on top of the quilt, and she walked in to talk 2 me, but co zi was only half asleep i didnt think 2 cover up my arm, so she got a full view of an arm and she never said a word 2 me for bout 2 weeks. and she had a go at me coz (she thought) it had bled over my sheets, but if i admitted this 2 her then she'd know that it was blood from other stuff. oh shit ive got myself into such a fuckin mess
