Yes, but only if you do it on purpose because if you do it on purpose your obviously wanting to hurt your self but if not and you do it by accident it's just an accident but I suggest you try talk to someone if you did do it on purpose

Absolutely. Self harm is a serious issue and I recommend you seek help from a trusted friend, parent or a medical professional.

Absolutely!
Self harm comes in a variety of different forms. If you are inflicting pain intentionally upon yourself then it is classified as self harm. Therefore using acid to burn yourself does classify as self harm. I advise that you seek professional help if condoning in self harm activities as they are vividly dangerous.

Yes it does. Using anything to harm yourself is counted as self harm. Try to find ways other than self harm to feel better about yourself.

I believe that if you are doing anything to harm yourself, including using acid to burn yourself, then it counts as self harm - any act of going out of the way harm your body is self harm.
