Yes it does count as self harm as does any physical violence towards yourself in any shape or form once it hurts it is self harm

If you're harming yourself on purpose, it is self harm. Self harm isn't just if its bleeding, don't just exclude it to that.

Bleeding doesn't justify if something is self-harm or not. Any method of trying to hurt yourself is considered self-harm.

It depends on what your intention is. If you are intentionally scratching to hurt yourself then yes

Yes it does. If you scratch yourself on purpose, it is still considered self harm. There doesn't have to be blood, it is just any deliberate act to harm yourself.

Yes! It is still a way to try and hurt yourself, I myself scratch and considered a safer way to cut.
