how can i remove foreign material from my skin?

“””skip to bottom if you don’t want to do a lot of reading””” i slammed my hand on unexpected small glass and it shoved into my wrist and i believe deep and broke in many many places so it is not easy getting it out. i got the top part out (could actually be all it was and no more in my skin) and i can feel a slight bump on the spot it went in. it feels like there may be glass in there but i can’t seem to get it out. how can i get it out?

whenever i get foreign objects in my skin i get a needle and try to get it out and if i can not get it out then i take the needle and dig it into my skin to rip it up slightly to have access to the object better and get it out. to me a lot of pain on the spot for 2-7 seconds it better than having irritating pain for 3-20 days in that spot.

how could i get it out? i cut my self in that spot to try to get it but could not and also dug a needle in to try to get it. should i just leave it to heal and when its almost healed or healed all the way and double check to see if something is still in there?

—–> i got glass in my wrist and got the top part out. i believe it broke in a few spots and there’s is a small piece lodge deep in my wrist. i feel a small pain when i touch it and a lump but i have been poking at it with a needle and razor.

what should i do? how can i get it out?

Answer #1

Do you have a tweezer? That should be the easiest way to get it out. Otherwise leave it for a day or two, see if it gets better, if the piece is really small your body should work itself out. If that does not do the trick, go to the emergency room and ask for some assistance. It should go quick.

Answer #2

i used tweezers and only been able to get the top part out. i shine a light on the spot and dont see anything sparkle.

Answer #3

It’s possible that the lump you’re feeling isn’t a piece of glass, but simply damaged tissue that’s in the process of healing. It’s hard to say whether it is or not, but the pain should subside within a day or two for a simple cut.
