When I cut myself, I have a panic attack, and I believe that I have a phobia of it. Is there a name of a phobia where I have a fear of my own cuts?
Other people's cuts and blood do not have the same effect on me, it is just my own. I don't have aichmophobia (a fear of sharp objects)
I do not have a fear of blood, so it's not haemophobia.
Injections are fine, I've had loads.

According to Campell's Psychiatric Dictionary, which I have here in hardcopy, the closest match is traumatophobia which means a fear of injuries, but is not specifically fear of injury to one's self. (It offers belonophobia as a fear of sharp objects, if that pertains.)
All that said, please be aware that, excepting agoraphobia, these –phobia constructions are considered archaic in modern psychiatry. If you were to present for treatment of this condition, you would be diagnosed as having Specific phobia, fear of injury as per the ICD-10-CM (US), code F40.233, or Specific phobia, blood-injection-injury as per the DSM5, code 300.28.
I have no idea why agoraphobia is still called agoraphobia.
