I know I shouldn't cut, but thank you for the tips. I've tried stoping, but I'm just going through too much right now to even consider quitting. I want to do it as safely as I can, even though I know it is never really safe to do it iin the first place. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. I just wasn't sure what a pharmasist would think if I go up to the counter and go,"what is the best stuff to stop infection in a wound but make it hurt like hell at the same time." Anyone tried that before? What do you guys use, for those of you who still cut?
