Any idea what could happen?

[LostAndConfused101]

Ok so here is my problem... I'm a cutter. I have as of yesterday cut the top of my wrist up pretty bad. I need to go to the doctor for a rash/allergic reaction to something. The rash is all up and down both of my arms. I don't have the money to go to a doctor so i plan on going to a walk in clinc at wallgreens. Can the nurses there make me go to the hosiptal or anything like that if they find fresh self harm wonds. they are not doctors and they are one step above a normal nurse. Any advice would help! Thanks in advanced oh and ps if it matters i'm 17.

To be honest, I don't know what will happen. Depending on where you live, they may have to inform your parents because of your age. At the least I think they might ask about the wound and recommend treatment for it, but unless it's very severe I doubt a hospital will be necessary. But you should definitely go about the rash.

You might find they dont even mention it. Or you might find that they offer you the oppurtunity to talk. The ball should be very much in your court. They might advise a referral but they cant force you to be referred.
