while not had personal experience, this is something that's been brought up by other members in the vets section so you could definitely look at old posts about it there.
if you don't feel safe to talk to, that's okay. but would v strongly suggest bringing it up with your daughter BEFORE speaking to dr and school and getting her involvement and say in what type of support she wants or who she wants aware. if she doesn't feel comfortable talking to you about it now, getting outside involvement could make it worse and make her trust you even less if she has no say or control in the situation.
also bring up the concepts of harm reduction and proper wound care, when to know if it is an emergency, etc.. and try to help her set up a plan so if it does happen that she needs medical attention, who she can contact or go to if it's not you. make it clear that this doesn't mean she has to stop, just has to try to do so in a "safer" way.
