What about allowing others to bite me to produce the pain shat should I do for the bruises and open wounds?
In the end we are all just chalk lines on the sidewalk, drawn only to be washed away.

DON'T allow others to bite you. The human mouth is FILTHY and the infections that can result are nasty. Seriously stop.

Sooner the better, but it is not an overnight thing for a number of us. With that in mind, all self-harmers should keep a first aid kit suited to their needs and to minimize the damage done.
Your medical kit should include:
Gauze
Medical tape
scissors
Sterile saline
antiseptic
Triple antibiotic ointment
Painkillers (NOT aspirin)
Burn ointment (if you burn yourself)
Sharps container
All of this can be found at your local drug-store/chemist. Keep all of this handy and well stocked. A nice box for it will be good, as you should keep all of this in one spot, all together.
Also, if you engage in cutting, it would be wise to keep your tetanus booster up to date.
First Aid for minor cuts:
If or when you cut, always use a new blade. Using a new blade will help prevent bad scarring and lacerations. Dull blades may carry bacteria or other contaminants. NEVER share a blade because of the risk of bloodbourne pathogens. Dispose of your blade in a Sharps container (found in the Diabetes management of drugstores/chemists) or in an empty pill bottle, which you should then hand over to a medical disposal team 9ask your pharmacist where you should dispose of your 'insulin needles.' You can also hand over blades to a 'needle exchange' for drug addicts. DO NOT THROW THEM AWAY AS IS. It is a biohazard and needs to be disposed of properly.
Always staunch the bleeding of your cuts. Apply a clean gauze with pressure. Allow 15 minutes for your bleeding to stop. If the bleeding is not stopping within a reasonable amount of time, you need to seek medical attention. If the blood trickles or oozes from your cuts, then you have a minor wound. Treat with over the counter antibiotic cream and gauze. If the blood does not stop, or pumps out of the injured area in time with your heart, then you NEED TO SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. A call for an ambulance is advised. You may have severed an artery and will need medical intervention. Always apply pressure on the sound to staunch bleeding. If the wound is on a limb, raise the limb above the heart to reduce blood flow to the area and allow for clotting. A deep wound is very serious and should be taken seriously. If you lose too much blood, you may go into shock.
Seek medical attention if:
The cut is deep and you can see the muscle underneath. It may look like a slab of meat.
You have lost sensation in the area of the wound.
The wound continues to bleed after a reasonable amount of time.
The wound appears to be infected.
hmmmm Gauze won't absorb nothing much....
you need dressings,bandage, plasters and stick on skin closures(helps prevent scars).
Sterile saline is good but i prefer sterile swabs for cleaning wounds.
painkillers (paracetamol, codeine and maybe an anti inflammatory like nurofen or naproxen.).
a good antiseptic cream like sudocream to reduce scarring and infection.
then again self harmers shouldn't be allowed to come near blades and be under supervision and/or medication. as self harm is a serious mental illness.
