See a doctor: Please do not continue to harm yourself. See a psychiatrist to get to the root of the cause. Naltrexone can help stop the rewarding effects some people get from hurting themselves. Depending on the type of wound and stage of healing, a dermatologist could recommend a treatment that could help. If you have keloids, big cuts or burns you may need to see a surgeon for an evaluation.
