Anytime that you do something to hurt yourself purposely, it counts as being self harm. Even if you’re not using a ‘traditional’ method to do so, you’re intentionally hurting yourself, which is self-harming.

Every way of hurting yourself is self harm. Understanding that you have a problem and need to try to get better is really important. Talking about it can help.

Using acid to burn yourself does count as self-harm. Self-harm is deliberately hurting yourself in any way, including burns. The best thing to do is get help.

I would think so :(
our body is our temple, we need to take care of it. I think the only technical self harm we should do to ourselves is working out, If you want to feel burning sensations may i consider doing some stretches when you feel the need to self harm? It burns, and it's healthy.

Yes because you’re using it as a source of self harm, you’re intentionally afflicting harm on yourself using acid to burn your skin

Any form of harm counts, its not only cutting.
Inflicting paint to yourself or causing any kind of injury counts as self harm. No matter how little or big it is.

Absolutely. You are causing harm to yourself intentionally. That counts as self-harm. Please take the necessary precautions, if you feel that you need to do this.
