Self mutilation is the medical term for the act. Terms used to refer to the person are "self-mutilator", "self-harmer," or "self-injurer". A slang term often heard is "cutter" or a person who "cuts". But the person should not be defined by the act. Those terms to refer to the person are used less often than the term to describe the act itself. It is a symptom of an underlying problem that is causing distress.

People who cut themselves are called self-mutilators. This is a form of anxiety disorder. The mutilators feel a sense of control when they hurt themselves, which seems totally illogical to normal people. They can almost be said to be addicted to pain.
