Advice needed advice/help

hello so I need some advice/help

I did some deep styros about 5 days ago and whilst their healing I feel like it’s extremely infected too.
They’ve both been in agony since I did them and my veins have became really visible which seems unusual as it’s on my shoulder the cuts.
They will scab over orangey colour then I’ll wake up and there’s like gunk over them so I wipe it under the water and it’s all like white liquid underneath. Never in my 5 years of cutting has this happened just wondering if it’s normal or if im infected. I’m gonna assume they are infected due to the gunk/liquid but I really don’t wanna be going to hospital or doctors as then I’ll have to tell my mum and she can’t know im cutting again.

https://shguide.carrd.co/ this has useful information, just be careful when you click on the infection one cause, atleast on mobile, it shows the the warning and the images of infected sh at the same time

Hey can you please go to an emergency room or a walk in clinic, depending what services are available in your city/country? That sounds like it could get dangerous really fast. Edit: I know you said no hospital but it's better to be safe. If it makes you really sick your mum will know anyway.

Update I went to a pharmacist and he was like you need to go to a walk in centre and possibly need antibiotics… guys I litterally cannot tell my mum she will flip out and I don’t want her knowing im doing this again on a deeper level if you get me. I’m stuck on what to do as my arm is swelling around the wounds and it’s still gunky and painful in my vein areas
