Like alot of people on this board, i self harm, but i dont think anyone else does what i do to myself. :confused:
I really dont know how i disscovered it, and i cant remember how long iv done it in particular, but its kind of advanced from just scratching my arms with my nails.
Anyways, what it is, i basicaly crush the pores on my arms or chest, between my fingernails untill it cracks, this white liquid comes out which from what iv read is called sebum (its the stuff which if you have too much of it, it blocks the pore and can cause a spot), but i keep going until the pore bleeds, then i move onto the next.
Thing is, to do it, it takes alot of effort, and i leave big deep nail marks in my skin too. From what i can tell, once it heals its fine, but i was wondering if i might be doing some permanent damage, apart from just scaring? Especialy seen as im doing this on my chest too.
