How should i treat this?
5 days ago i self harmed and appear to have given myself a fairly large burn which on reaserching i think is third degree. It doesnt look like its getting any better. some one it blistered and poped and now is just a swollen whole in my arm. the whole lower arm has swollen, also the scars on that bottom of my arm from previous self harm have turned very dark purple/ black............. im unsure hoe to treat the burn or why the scars have turned black.
its so sore. the burns about the size of 3 english 50 pences in a row next to each other.
some of it it is pure solid white skin gone funny, some oozing from blistered patches and other parts just a scabed hole in my arm.
any ideas what i do????????
