I have been cutting a lot lately. I have been just cutting on my wrists but then I ran out of room so now im cutting on my thigh. I wasn’t cutting to deep on my wrists but on my thighs I’ve been cutting deeper. How can I properly take care of my cuts? What kind of things will I need to take care of the cuts?

A couple of sites with relevant info you could try – don’t have knowledge of / experience, myself:

Pretty basic first aid. I’d suggest oxygenated water or alcohol cleaning solution :L If you have neosporin thats great for stopping the blood. Obviously applying a cleaning pad to clean the infected area. After that bandages or if its really deep, gauges and medical tape. Like I said neosporin helps stop the bleeding and also kills bacteria. Keep them clean. If they start getting puffy and swollen….see a doctor
What excuses could I use with a doc? I’ve been to a trearment center twice this year im not going back.
There is no excuse. No way to say it was any sort of accident. Cutting is to easily visible and in large amounts of cuts….theres no point in even trying. Sorry no excuse i can think of.
