First be sure you use antiseptic on the scratch to prevent infection. Have a physical exam by a Dr. to know if you have a physical illness. If cleared consult with a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy to help with what is causing your self harm & a Psychiatrist for medication.
