    Cut wound.

    ( the above is the url to image of my cut )

    Hi, I have this cut wound from a Swiss knife and I haven't really touched it since about 4 days ago when I got this cut.. So, I'm wondering if I have to do anything to it. Like.. A visit to the doctor or something? Please help! And, will I have a scar? If yes, is there any way to reduce the appearance of the scar?

    You are a cutter? (If not, what are the other knife marks from?)

    The one particular cut need a doctor's attention. Please see one.

    The skin around the wound is red and inflamed. Not good. Does the wound feel warm when you touch it?

    Do we need to talk about the cutting? I'm here to listen.

    It doesn't feel warm.. The temperature's the same as the rest of the leg.

    Just way too many things happening. I can't take it. It kills me inside out. But I think I'll live.

    Watch it for getting more inflamed and even with whiteness in the cut.

    WHY cut?

    Oh! Right after I showered, I checked the wound again and inside the edges of the slightly gaping wound, it is white. Like.. There's depth and it's white?

    Too overwhelming. Not going to cut anymore though..

    The white means your body is fighting any infection. If the cut begins to ooze clear liquid or pus or gets more inflamed, time for a doctor.

    Help!
    Help me.. Recently, I just keep feeling really depress especially because of my family and surrounding and things like that. I feel like crying and I stay in my room most of the time, wanting to be alone. When someone asks me if I'm okay on the phone, I said I am but when face to face, I feel too overwhelmed to say anything. 

    It has gotten worse and recently, I just cut myself quite deeply with a Swiss knife. I have never done this before! And the urge to inflict harm on either myself or things have been increasing. Sometimes I'll feel better like everything is okay then other times I feel too overwhelmed.. Suicidal included..  I don't know if one day I might have enough courage to do so, But I don't want to.

    What should I do? I don't want to be like this anymore. My exams are coming and I need to focus!
