Is it normal that i scratch and bite myself?

This started at age 11, when I started biting and scratching myself. I usually did this to my arm, wrist, and hand. It was always my right arm though, probably because I'm a lefty. I was drawing and I started getting angry because I was thinking about my past. My past isn't very pleasant. But, I'm not here to talk about that. I scratched and bit the skin on my arm. I scratched my forearm (I think?..) till it went numb and opened up. I bit my wrist around in circles, each bit getting harder. I've never let anyone know about this, till now. I mean, I've always been a fan of Creeypasta, and have tried carving the symbol into my wrist. This becomes routine and I'm now afraid it will become a problem. Is this normal, or am I messed up in the head?

    You should see a medical professional about this, especially if the wounds are opening up and you cannot stop. If you have the ability to stop I would highly recommend it.
