Yes, it definitely does. Self-harm is when you deliberately harm yourself, so burning yourself with acid, if done deliberately, is most definitely self harm.

Using acid to burn yourself is self-harm because self-harm means to injure yourself physically, no matter what method you used. Also, as acid is corrosive, injuries are inflicted onto the skin and it takes a long time to recover.

Yes. Anything you do to hurt yourself is self-harm and should be taken very seriously. Please seek immediate medical attention if you want to harm yourself, as well as long-term help from a therapist or psychiatrist.
