Question
QUESTION: I have been thinking of experimenting with cutting, well I want to. However never having done this before is there any advice you can offer to minimize the risk of permanent scaring.

She already has a couple of permanent marks on her back which is a result of a whipping. The marks are very light, barely visible on her pale skin, although thy become noticeable when she tans. I would hate to leave her with scaring much worse then that

ANSWER: You allow her to tan?  Use of a surgical scalpel will definitely minimize scarring because the blade is extremely sharp, however, anything deeper than superficial is going to leave a scar--even GOD leaves scars--look at your navel. The key is to make a clean cut, sanitize it and make sure it doesn't get infected. Super Glue is used by plastic surgeons to close small wounds and to prevent scarring caused by sutures.

QUESTION: Yes, she looks great with a tan, why?

Superglue, how do I use it.

When we first started out I used to rub salt after whipping her. I know this used to happen in days gone by after a fogging salt used to rubbed in to prevent infections.

It was suggested that this increases scaring so I have been using alcohol, lemon juice or vinegar since. Any reason not to use it in cuts?

What do you recommend as sensitization

You might be evil, but your also brilliant, if you where accepting ratings it would be 10 out of 10. I will have more questions for you later, hope you do not mind. Have to go out just now.

Answer
Tanning "leatherizes" the skin which makes it less supple and more prone to damage. You can put alcohol on but lemon juice has a lot of sugar in it--not good for wounds and vinegar doesn't have a lot of antibacterial properties--it's just acidic.
To close a cut with superglue, wait till the bleeding stops. Bring the edges of the cut together and using a new tube, run a thin bead along the wound and lay a steri-strip on it while the glue is still wet. Leave the strip in place until it literally falls off which will take a few days. She can shower as normal after 24 hours. The skin cells will slough off and the strip will fall off as it heals--don't PULL it off or you will reopen the cut. This will minimize scarring down to about 1/4 inch and there's no point in going deeper because all of the nerves are in the top layers of the epidermis and dermis. You can actually get a lot more sensation from sliding in a hypodermic needle horizontally under the skin as it hits all the nerves and hurts a LOT but doesn't open a wound. Flicking, vibrating and moving a horizontally placed needle hurts a lot more than one that is placed vertically (straight up and down)and there are so many things that are very very uncomfortable that leave NO marks.  Have you ever done any enemas?  A punishment enema is an experience she won't forget for a LONG time and won't be eager to repeat. Corner time while kneeling on uncooked rice grains is also very painful but doesn't damage her--and it's very difficult to kneel on rice while holding a quarter pressed to the wall with her forehead or tongue.
