Presumably there are SH Forums where you can get the answer from experienced Harmers?
Could be that your wound is infected but you probably don't want to see your doctor.

Can I ask... are you getting help off your GP or similar? If you aren't I would definitely recommend that you seek help.
Obviously I really hope that you don't self harm again, but if the worst happens make sure your wound is kept clean. If it's large or deep I suggest covering it with a sterile dressing and use antiseptic cream like savlon.
All the best, Amy.
