Of course it does, any self inflicted injury is classed as self harm. The aim is to hurt yourself and using acid will hurt and that's a method of self harming. There are many different forms of self-harm that a lot of people dont know about.

Yes! Anything you do with intent to harm yourself Is self-harm. It could be punching yourself, starving yourself pouring wax on yourself, anything with intent to hurt yourself Is self harm.

As long as you're hurting yourself, everything you do can count as self-harming I think.
I myself, not only used to cut myself but used different way of hurt myself.

Yes, it does. Anything that involves somebody deliberately hurting themselves is self harm. If you are struggling with self harm please talk to a listener or a therapist about it. Don't hurt yourself, you are so precious.

It depends on your mental state. In my experience, any thing done to harm yourself because of negative emotions counts as self harm.

Yes, I feel like using anything to hurt yourself would count as self-harm. Using acid is no different then cutting, punching, etc.
