munch away, it's just your own dried blood.  But, be sure to put some antibacterial ointment on the wound and a bandage, it will heal faster if it is covered.

If you are cutting yourself at all you need to see your GP or speak to someone impartial. It isn't right to mutilate yourself in this way. You will end up being in constant pain and have scars for the rest of your life. If you are having problems cutting yourself won't help. You seem to be using it to cover up the problem but the best thing you can do is face the problem head on.\nBe brave, speak to a friend you trust and ask them to come along with you. Please stop hurting yourself xx

Go to the store and get blister pads.  They really work and shorten the healing time.

i have been a nurse for a long time. When i saw this question i was concerned for you. please see your dr. he will probably check for circulation problems or maybe you have a bacteria in the wound that the antibiotic won't kill. It should be cultured right away. This takes about 3 days to see any growth and to be able to determine what kind of bacteria is in the wound. Please look for red marks going up your leg. also check to see if the area is red and warm. if you see the red marks or it is red you should get to the e.r. Good luck. My guess is that you just need the right antibiotic. Good luck.

I know where you are at. Self injuring is a way to deal with pain and hurt. It seems easier to deal with the physical pain of cutting than the emotional pain of your hurt. This IS normal, but try to find someone to talk to. I used to cut myself when I was younger. I had a tough childhood and some really rocky relationships with boyfriends. Cutting felt good. I am married now. I do not cut anymore or think about hurting myself. I have a beautiful baby girl who is 10months old. I spoke to counselors and friends. You may not think so now, but they can be so benificial to your healing. \nMy husband knows of my past and of my cutting. My scars are a reminder of what USED to be. I was really depressed. At times when I look at my scars, I wish I hadnt have taken that razor and sliced my beautiful skin. But I did. I did what I did. I talked to my friends and family about my pain and they accepted it. Your friends/family will come around. They are acting that way towards you now because they don't understand. HELP them understand. REACH OUT to someone. I have never met you but I can tell you that EVERYONE is beautiful and unique in their own way. YOU are OK! If you have a family physician, try talking to them. TEll them you are feeling depressed. They maybe able to prescribe something for the chemical imbalance. It's NOT YOUR FAULT that you are depressed. A great majority of the world is depressed. And go figure with all the crap thats going on in the world today.\n\nRemember....ITS NOT YOUR FAULT...and you are NOT a freak!\nTake care...it WILL get better...

I've had similar problems, not that I didn't have the money, just that I didn't want to spend the money on a doctor cutting on my foot. I had a bad one that went on for several months, soaking it and trying to fix it myself, until finally one day it hurt so bad I couldn't walk on it. I used some Peroxide to wash and clean it and then slowly started working with a small pair of scissors, the kind most women have for whatever they use them for lol, to move then end of the nail up out of the place that hurts...it took a while and it was painful at times, but as soon as I got it worked up and could break it off, it felt sooo much better. I know this isn't the safest or healthiest way, but if you keep everything clean and sterile it wouldn't hurt. I fixed mine and it's not bothered me for over 4 months now. Hope this helps a little.

As soon as you scrape or break the skin anywhere on your body, special blood cells called platelets (say: playt-lits) spring into action. Platelets stick together like glue at the cut, forming a clot (say: klot). This clot is like a protective bandage over your cut that keeps more blood and other fluids from flowing out. The clot is also full of other blood cells and thread-like stuff called fibrin (say: fy-brin) that help hold the clot together. \n\nSo now you're home, you're cleaned up, and you're not bleeding anymore. But things are still happening on your knee. As the clot starts to get hard and dries out, a scab forms. Scabs are usually crusty and dark red or brown. Their job is to protect the cut by keeping germs and other stuff out and giving the skin cells underneath a chance to heal.\n\nIf you look at a scab, it probably just looks like a hard, reddish glob. But under its surface, all kinds of things are going on. New skin cells are being made to help repair the torn skin. Damaged blood vessels are being fixed. White blood cells, the kind that fight infection to keep you from getting sick, go to work by attacking any germs that may have gotten into the cut. White blood cells also get rid of any dead blood and skin cells that may still be hanging around the cut. By the time it's all done, a new layer of skin will have been made.\n\nEventually, a scab falls off and reveals new skin underneath. This usually happens by itself after a week or 2. Even though it may be tough not to pick at a scab, try to leave it alone. If you pick or pull at the scab, you can undo the repair and rip your skin again, which means it'll probably take longer to heal. You may even get a scar. So let that scab sit there - your skin will thank you!

Abigail B dispensed goot advice.  aloe helps too.  if you buy it OTC, make sure it is 100% aloe w/ NO ALCHOL.\n\nwhen it isn't raw to the touch, continue applying aloe and vitamin K cream to speed healing and prevent scarring.\n\ngood luck and be more careful next time?  ♥

It depends on if their doing it vaginally or cutting you below your stomach.  If their cutting you it'll take longer to heal, and it's alot more painful as well.  But if their doing it vaginally it'll take about 3-4 weeks to recover.  You may feel better in about a week or so, but don't over do it until your body totally heals!!!  Good luck, you'll feel like a new woman when you've healed up!!!!!

i had one from a cut i had in my mouth and i couldn't figure out why it wouldn't heal... turned out that it healed really quickly when i stopped eating and drinking acidic things (orange juice, tomato sauce, etc.) until it was completely gone.  so it might not be the medicine, it might just be eating habits.

You move on as well.  Time heals.  Every person has a different amount of time that it takes to heal.  You will have scars.  But scars are a sign of healing.  Move forward.  One day at a time.  Good luck to you.

Try using something called "Mederma". It's scar cream and it's amazing! I had a few cuts that were in a prominent place and I used it and they're gone. No trace at all.

Don't wast time on home remedy's, got see a doctor right away. Any cut in the area of the mouth is subject to germs and infection. The only thing that is going to help is the proper medication.
