Burning

Self-inflicted burning is a severe form of self-harm that can lead to significant physical injury and scarring in children and adolescents. It is often associated with more severe psychopathology compared to other forms of self-harm. Treatment typically involves a combination of wound care, pain management, and intensive mental health interventions.
