If you willingly damage the beautiful body that was given to you, that's known as self-harm. You don't deserve that.

Yes, of course! Acid is a very dangerous substance and should not be used to play with as it can harm yourself and other people.

Of course it does! Any form of inflicting physical or mental pain or hurt on oneself is an act of self harm. Being aware of your triggers and recognizing when you are about to perform an act of self harm is the first step in correcting the behavior.

Self harm can take many forms. If you deliberately do this to intentionally cause pain, that is a method of self harm.

Yes, using something to harm yourself and having pain then yes you're seems harming, no matter what you use, if you use something to hurt yourself then I'd il consider it being self harm, and if you're in pain let me know.

Yes. In anyway you use any kind of object or substance on yourself purposefully and especially if you have intentions of using them to hurt yourself, it is self-harm.
