Difficult: If the edges are not touching each other have it looked at to see if it needs stitches. More importantly, u do not have to live with self harm. U are stuck in a pattern for which there is a solution besides psychiatry. If u honestly have had enough of this, this may require a complete change in your personality. If u you are willing to do whatever it takes, go to a group like AA. If not, consider.
