Dial being an anti bacterial soap is absolutely fine to clean with. The way soap works is that the molecules of soap attach to the molecules of dirt, grime etc... and remove them from your skin. If you're an anti bacterial soap user, than that is fine. As long as the cuts are superficial (surface things, minor cuts-- not deep wounds) you should be fine. Your financial status determining what soap you use doesn't determine your worth as a person. And when it comes to cleaning cuts, you do want to ensure you do scrub hands thoroughly for about 30 seconds or so.

why does cutting make me feel better but then bad afterwards?I harm myself on purpose. I never do it because I need to cope, I do it because I like the pain and like to have something on my body. I know I should stop, but I don't want to. Why is that?Does cutting for only a few months and stopping make me any less of a self-harmer?How do I explain scars when a young child asks about them?What do I say to people that ask about my scars without making them uncomfortable?How to deal with self-harm alone?Why do some wounds turn purple?Is scratching yourself with a paper clip on purpose considered self harm when you don’t bleed?Whenever I bandage myself with rolled gauze I can never get it tight enough, so it always ends up slipping off.
