Psychiatrist,  's  Response
HI! thanks for this query!! its definitely an interesting question...I would like to have additional information like what is your age, sex, background, where & with whom do you live etc. In addition since when all of these problems have begun? When do you notice these injury marks & precisely on what locations. Jumping to any conclusions ranging from harming self involuntarily to "spirits" is premature. So dont worry..if possible get in touch with a psychiatrist as soon as possible for a detailed evaluation or if you are comfortable, get back to me with answers to my aforementioned questions. good luck
