stupid
 

Erm, I've kind of run out of space to cut, so I've been burning over cuts. Is that dangerous.
/sorry
Thanks

It's certainly not advisable or good as far as healing, scarring and infection goes, I'm sure.

It really would be a good idea if you could try and use alternatives to cutting and burning, such as squeezing ice cubes, and keeping yourself distracted. Also, talking to a therapist & suchlike may help.

Burning over cuts is definately not a good idea as Puppet Strings has said. It will damage all the cells around the edges of the cuts making the cuts less able to heal properly and increasing the chances of infection which burns are already prone to. As healing will be compromised due to the burning then the scars will be worse than what they would have been.

Thanks for the replies. I was just being stupid, hopefully it won't scar too badly.
