With my old one, no. She didn't really want to know. It made her upset.
My new one asks to see them, asks what I used, asks me to throw out what I used, we go through safety plan, talk about triggers and reasons for stopping, she usually tells me I need to start going for stitches when I need them, encourages me to get them looked at anyway, tells me to clean and bandage them, checks if they're infected the next few weeks, etc... Everything. I find it really helps to be able to talk about it and have help after dealing alone for so long.
