It often happens to adults and children getting stung with a rose thorn (part of which remains under the skin) or shove a few small splinter of wood that creeps under the skin of a few fingers or the palm of the same hand. If the plug or chipping are visible and not in depth, you can try to get it off without problems in the way that I will show in the following guide.

If you stuck a thorn in your finger or the palm of your hand, try a family member, or a friend who knows how to take it off, if you can not find anyone accustomed to do so: if the plug is visible and the result is a piece furi skin can try to pull it away from eyebrows with tweezers after you place it across the plug in question. You will need to disinfect the whole part with alcohol or other disinfectant (hydrogen peroxide, which does not burn, it is suitable for small children) dropping in on the drops.

If the splinter or thorn comes out and you see very well that lies beneath the epidermis (top layer of the skin) act in the following way: get yourself a very fine needle and very sharp, very well sterilized needle, using denatured alcohol or by burning the tip with the flame of a candle or a lighter.

Placed in full light, if you need to wear glasses and act slowly in this way: a first transverse hole and thin layer of skin beneath which lies the plug and lift it up slightly to tear it. You’ll see with amazement that you will not feel any pain!

Repeat tearing small segments of thin skin, until the plug will not be visible. Once discovery part or all of the plug, take it off via with the same tip of the needle or with tweezers for eyebrows Disinfect then with cotton and alcohol or other disinfectant.

If the plug is inserted deeply into the dermis (the deeper layer of the skin) should go to the doctor who will tell you how to act. You must go to the emergency room even if, instead of a plug, you stuck a splinter of wood in depth.

The wood, especially old ones, is the bearer of tetanus, so if the splinter is deep must notify your doctor immediately and do not try to remove it yourself.
