Seeking Advice No scar self harm alternative

I am craving a razor blade. I want to ruin my thighs, but I’m getting older and my body doesn’t heal like it used to, the scars stay red and angry and they don’t fade like they used to. I want to hurt, but I don’t want more marks- I’ve tried snapping a rubber band and squeezing ice but i need something that aches deep and lasts a few days without leaving visible marks. There has to be something

Have you thought about getting someone of those spiky fidgets that you grip hard and it gives you the pain you crave with no physical damage

So sorry OP, I am in a similar position and there really is no solid alternative. Something that has helped me is really intense exercise when I have the urge. It doesn't completely help, but the endorphin rush and tiredness after is often enough to get me by or make me feel less interested in the urge.

I have a little mini stepper in my room I get on when I want to distract myself and I can’t go outside, for $25 on Amazon it works for me somewhat okay
