A member asked:

Can you help? could self harm cuts show up on an mri scan?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Self harm cuts: Self harm cuts are usually superficial skin cuts. If they are large and deep with significant scaring they might show up on mri. However most are shallow and narrow, which is unlikely to show up on routine mri.
