X77: Intentional self-harm by steam, hot vapours and hot objects

Intentional self-harm by steam, hot vapours and hot objects includes situations where an individual deliberately causes injury to oneself using substances or objects that are extremely heated. This group of conditions can result from a wide range of mental health struggles including depression, anxiety, and self-loathing. The injuries usually take the form of burns, which can range from minor first-degree burns characterized by redness and pain, to more severe third-degree burns involving damage to deeper layers of the skin, potentially causing black or white charred skin. The severity of the burn can impact various systems in the body, including the skin, circulatory and immune system. Prolonged exposure to steam or hot objects can result in systemic issues like dehydration, hypothermia, and sepsis. This group of conditions often involves a cycle of behavior, with the risk of repetition and escalation if the underlying issues are not addressed.
