Abstract

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is increasingly observed among adolescents, including a specific pattern known as barcode cutting—characterized by parallel cuts on the skin resembling a barcode. This behavior is often associated with complex psychosocial stressors and significantly influenced by social media exposure. We report the case of an adolescent patient presenting with barcode-type NSSI linked to mood disturbances, familial conflict, and online content In this case, a 17-year-old female teenager engaged in barcode cutting due to complex psychosocial stressors and significant social media influence. This case underscores the importance of early identification, a multidimensional understanding of NSSI, and the implementation of comprehensive interventions encompassing both pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. Support from family and the surrounding community plays a crucial role in the recovery and prevention of adolescent self-injurious behavior.
