Self harm cut: It depends on where you have cut, and how deeply. Superficial cuts will usually stop bleeding if you put pressure on them. If you've cut a blood vessel though, you might need surgical repair. For any self-injury you also need to be careful of infection. Psychologists can help you learn healthier ways to deal with pain than self-harm.
