I need help I hurt myslef with a pin for the past 2 days what do I do

I’m really glad you told me. Stay here with me for a moment — put the pin down, move it out of the room, and go near a trusted person. Try not to be alone tonight.

If it is bleeding, press a clean cloth firmly on it for 10 minutes without checking. Then rinse it under clean running water, gently wash around it with soap, and cover it with a clean bandage.

A pin puncture can get infected. See a doctor today if it is deep, bleeding will not stop, the pin was dirty or rusty, or you notice increasing redness, swelling, warmth, pus, fever, or numbness. Also get checked if your tetanus vaccination is not up to date or you do not know.

If you might hurt yourself again now, go with a trusted person to the nearest hospital emergency department immediately.

Are you safe from the pin right now, and are you thinking of hurting yourself again?
