Help Pain when self-harm scars heal

[H-E-L]

So I started cutting myself again, they're quite shallow cuts on my wrists, kind of like cat scratches. When they healed, my right wrist and fingers and hand got a bit of pain or sometimes numb. I also strength train if that helps, it's just really weird

I'm not a doctor but from my own experience there is sometimes tingling sensation due to skin stretching. If your fingers go numb you might have hit a nerve, depends on how deep you went. If that keeps bothering you I think it's a good idea to see a doctor for proper advice. Though I understand it can be a hustle to explain the scars

oh ok, that makes sense, tingling is a much better description than numb, thank you for helping, but what can I do to stop the tingling, also I don't go deep when I cut, very shallow cits

I'm not quite sure what to do about it, for me it usually goes away as the scars heal up. I guess doing some stretching and light finger exercises could help. Like they do after surgeries
