A splinter is any foreign body that is stuck under the skin. It can be pieces of glass, metal shavings, wood chips, spikes of plants, fish bones, etc., Often these small objects cause serious health problems. Therefore, it is important to know how to correctly, as painlessly and quickly as possible remove a foreign body from under the skin. There are several ways to get a splinter on your own.

What will happen if you do not pull out a splinter

As a result of mechanical impact when performing work in the garden, repair, construction, when transplanting plants, such as a cactus, etc., a foreign body gets under the skin. The injury itself is small, so many do not pay attention to it. It is not difficult to remove the spike from under the skin, the main thing is to treat the place before and after with an antiseptic. To prevent infection from entering the body and the development of complications.

On the surface of a foreign body that gets under the skin, there are microorganisms. After some time, they can cause suppuration, which often leads to inflammation of the soft tissues. To prevent sepsis, sliver, glass, thorns - everything that gets under the skin needs to be removed as quickly as possible, while trying not to damage it more. A prerequisite is the treatment of the skin with an antiseptic. For the operation, you will need a magnifying glass, daylight, tools, a disinfectant, a bandage or a medical adhesive plaster.

Removal of a splinter at hand

When the splinter does not enter very deeply, it is not difficult to remove it. There are many ways, but it is very important to carry out the correct preparatory work, which consists in processing and preparing the site of damage. This measure will prevent infection from entering the wound. Processing is carried out as follows:

1. Wash the damaged area well with running water and soap.
2. Treat the affected area and area next to alcohol.
3. Sanitize the tools used in the extraction process.

It is possible to quickly remove a foreign body from under the skin with:

• needles - an ordinary sewing needle, pin, needle from a medical syringe will do;
• tweezers - provided that part of the splinter is visible on the surface;
• scotch tape - when there are a lot of small thorns;
• pVA glue - a painless way;
• using folk recipes.

Needle

When the tip of a foreign body breaks off or is not very visible, you can remove everything with a needle. It is done like this:

1. Treat the affected area, the needle with an antiseptic.
2. Carefully insert the needle between the splinter and the skin above it.
3. Move upward to tear the outer layer of the epidermis.
4. Gently pry an alien body over the edge.
5. At the angle of occurrence of the sliver, carefully pull it out of the body by the tail that appears.
6. Treat the wound with an antiseptic (alcohol, peroxide).

Tweezers

Surgery to remove splinter should be in good light. Additionally, you can use a magnifier, glasses. The tweezers are pretreated with alcohol or another disinfectant. With the tool, you need to gently pick up the spike's tail and pull it along the entry line very carefully so that the piece does not break off. After this, the wound is processed.

Scotch tape

Splinter obtained from contact with prickly plants, glass wool can be removed with adhesive tape. It is done like this:

1. Stick a piece of duct tape to the damaged area. Do not press firmly so as not to drive deeper into the thorns.
2. With a sharp movement, remove the tape.
3. Repeat this until the skin is completely cleared of foreign bodies.
4. Upon completion, treat the damaged area with an antiseptic.

Glue PVA

There are times when the size of a foreign body makes it impossible to remove it with a needle or tweezers. In this case, PVA glue is suitable. Especially this method is good for removing splinter in children, because it is considered the most painless. The only negative is that everything does not happen very quickly. To do this, glue is applied to the pre-treated area of \u200b\u200bthe skin with a thick layer. Leave it to dry completely. After that, the glue is easily removed, pulling out a splinter. The wound is treated, sealed with adhesive tape.

Extraction of splinters using folk recipes

How to remove a splinter at home

There are many ways to remove a splinter at home. Depending on where she got, who suffered, the best option is chosen. An important requirement - during this simple operation, all safety precautions should be observed. If after twelve hours the splinter does not come out, it is necessary to stop self-medication and contact a medical institution for help.

From the finger

A splinter in the finger causes a lot of problems, from an unpleasant tingling sensation to serious inflammation. When it is visible on the surface, you can remove it by all of the above methods. If the sliver, spike fell under the nail, it is possible to remove them with tweezers. It is preliminary recommended that the finger be steamed to be able to slightly push the fingernail. Next, the alien body gently stretches. After this, be sure to treat the damaged area.

When the splinter is deep under the skin, it is better to use other methods. For instance:

1. Soda gruel is applied, the finger is placed in water.
2. A finger is placed in a saline solution (a glass of hot water and 4 tbsp. L. Salt) for 15 minutes.
3. Clay helps with suppuration. Dissolve it in water until the consistency of thick sour cream, add a couple of drops of vinegar. The composition is applied to the wound, as it dries, add. Apply until splinter comes out.
4. Cottage cheese. Apply to the wound at night, rinse in the morning.
5. Set fire to the cotton fabric. Hold your finger over the smoke.

Out of the heel

Often, a splinter gets under the skin of the heel or foot. Removing it is then more difficult. When the foreign body is above the surface, the extraction can be done in any convenient way, while observing all the processing rules. In case of deep penetration, recommendations are as follows:

1. Steam the foot in a soapy solution for 15 minutes.
2. Treat with antiseptic, dry.
3. Using a needle or tweezers, pull out a splinter.
4. If it doesn’t work, use clay, cottage cheese, butter, soda.

Invisible

In addition to soda, banana peel, clay, scotch tape, there are methods of extraction using cans or waxes. It is done like this:

1. A jar with wide peas is filled to the brim with hot water. The affected part is pressed very tightly against the container so that the wound is in the water. After a couple of minutes, everything should go outside. A bottle is used to remove from the finger.
2. The wax melts in a water bath, drips onto the affected area. You can immediately drop the wax on the skin. After drying, the splinter is easily removed.

How to pull a splinter in a child without a needle

There are many ways how to pull a splinter from a child without a needle. They differ in a safe and painless process. When the splinter is invisible, it has gone very deep, it is recommended to use products with a pulling effect, for example, a banana peel. The inside of it is applied to the wound, everything is fixed with a plaster. The compress is aged for at least 6 hours. If after this time the splinter did not appear, you should abandon self-medication and consult a doctor.

The second method involves the use of tape. At night, it sticks to the affected area. The created compress effect will contribute to the release of the splinter. In the morning all that remains is to stretch it out. Often the spike comes out completely by itself and simply sticks to the tape. Be sure to after the extraction procedure, the entire area is treated with an antiseptic.

When to see a doctor

In most cases, you can get rid of a foreign body under the skin at home, but there are times when you should immediately consult a doctor. It:

• the area near the orbit is affected;

It is not easy to pull out a deep splinter. If you do this in a hurry, you can drive it under the skin even deeper. if she is deeply embedded in our body? Properly, with composure and with the arrangement! Some knowledge is needed here. What kind? Find out now! Forward!

How to pull a splinter if it is deep?

Option number 1: deep, but visible

The first step is to examine the place of its entrance.

If you saw that its end is above the surface of the skin (despite the fact that it itself has "stuck" thoroughly), then you can try to pull out a splinter right away. How to do it? Use tweezers (at worst - cosmetic tweezers). Anoint the wound with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. Do not forget to disinfect your hands and tweezers (tweezers). So that the removal is successful, and the splinter does not break off halfway, do not pull it with sudden movements. Pull out the foreign body gently and at the same angle as it entered under the skin.

Option number 2: deep and not visible

How to pull out a splinter if it has sunk deep into the flesh? Here you and I will have to be extremely careful, because in this case it will be poorly visible, and you won’t be able to pull out the whole thing. It is necessary to steam the affected area well. To do this, prepare a bowl of hot water, add soapy water, and then lower the affected area into it for 5 minutes several times. Note that a splinter can come out on its own.

If you still could not pull the splinter out of the steamed place, then seek the help of a traumatologist. In any case, a steamed area of \u200b\u200bthe skin is good. At least in this place there will be no abscess. When the splinter is pulled out, be sure to treat the wound with an antiseptic (furatsilin, potassium permanganate, alcohol, iodine, zelenka and so on).

How to get a deep splinter folk remedies?

Oddly enough, but most of the folk ways in this case are really effective! I recommend you use tar. It is necessary to grease the place affected by the splinter thickly and, armed with manicured disinfected tweezers or tweezers, wait for its appearance. Typically, a deep splinter is shown 15 minutes after treatment. At this point you need to grab it with tweezers and pull it towards you. Do not forget about the technique of pulling a splinter (see above). As an alternative to tar - a piece of aloe, which should be applied and fixed in the affected area. The effect is the same: the skin softens, all the debris is removed. Since the wound from a deep splinter is large, it should be treated with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, and then insulated from possible contamination with a medical plaster (dressing).

Medieval torture

A splinter under the nail is a mass of various inconveniences and terrible discomfort. The near-nail sites are rich in nerve receptors, which means they are very sensitive and painful. This was used in medieval torture, driving needles under the nails.

How to remove a splinter from a nail?

As with the deep splinter, the steaming method must be applied here. Pour in the most hot water (so that you can tolerate it), add soda or salt to it. We drop our little sufferer finger there and hold it until the water cools down to room temperature. Then, with disinfected tweezers, slowly pull it out. If you do not succeed on your own, urgently to a traumatologist!

With a splinter, at least once in a life, every person has encountered. Work in the country, in the garden, in production, home renovation - during all these activities it is very easy to accidentally stick a small foreign body into a hand or foot. If it stuck into the skin only partially, then it can be easily pulled out by grabbing the tip sticking out from the outside, but it is much more difficult to cope with a deep-seated or old splinter. This can lead to an abscess and other unpleasant consequences, so it will be interesting to everyone to know how to solve such a problem.

What is a splinter and where does it come from

It is customary to consider a foreign object a sharp object, accidentally falling under the skin or mucous membrane due to mechanical damage to the latter. A large foreign body causes severe pain to the victim; a small splinter can sometimes not be immediately noticed, but later it will declare itself to be a complication. After all, as a rule, objects falling under the skin are dirty. Along with them, pathogenic microbes can enter the wound. Most often, people accidentally damage their palms and fingers; in second place are the feet. Rarely, a sliver, small shard, or shavings can stick into your face or eye, and in this case you can’t do without medical help.

  Splinter - a small sharp object stuck in the skin

The role of splinter can be:

• wood chips or sawdust;
• spikes of plants;
• spines of cacti;
• metal shavings;
• glass crumbs.

A small splinter often leaves the wound on its own and almost does not bother a person. However, if it causes significant discomfort, then you need to get rid of a foreign object as soon as possible.

Symptoms of Splinter

If the splinter was received recently, then in the place of its introduction, redness and soreness appear. The tip of a foreign object is visible above the surface of the skin or, if the splinter penetrated deeply, just a small wound. After a few hours, if the foreign inclusion was not removed, this place swells and becomes inflamed.

  At the site of splinter introduction, an inflammatory reaction immediately begins

The appearance of a throbbing pain in the wound, the blue around it means that an abscess began to develop under the skin.   If at this stage no measures are taken to remove the foreign object, then over time a deep-seated splinter is covered with a dense capsule, inside of which pus and anemia accumulate (yellowish fluid flowing along with blood, as well as purulent bloody fluid resulting from abscesses, ulcers ) The external opening of the wound is delayed, and the foreign body remains in a confined space under the skin, causing pain during movements and even at the slightest touch. A dense growth, similar to, can form on the skin above the splinter. With these symptoms, the victim must consult a doctor for surgical opening, debridement and antibacterial treatment.

How to pull out a small foreign body without pain

The first thing a person thinks about when he finds a splinter in himself is how to quickly and painlessly pull it out. There are several ways to independently remove small and sharp debris from objects under the skin.

Splinter recovery preparation

Before you try to remove the splinter, prepare a disinfectant (for example, medical alcohol, vodka, cologne or hydrogen peroxide) and perform several preparatory steps:

1. Thoroughly clean from dirt, wash the place of introduction of extraneous debris with warm water and soap.
2. Dry your skin gently with a tissue. In no case should you put pressure on a splinter or rub it; from this, it can advance even further into the body or break. Then you have to take the object out in pieces, which will greatly complicate the manipulation.
3. Carefully inspect the problem area, determine the material of the foreign object, the angle and depth of penetration of the latter. This is best done with a magnifying glass.
4. Wipe the splinter inlet with a disinfectant.

Ways to get rid of splinters at home

If none of the methods proposed below is effective, then you should consult a doctor to remove a small item. Before mechanical removal of splinters all used tools must be wiped with alcohol.

Self-surgery with tweezers, blades and needles

It is easiest to remove a foreign body if its tip remains on the outside, which can be grabbed with small tweezers. If the splinter is located parallel to or at an acute angle to the skin surface and its inner part is visible through it, then you can gently tear the skin over the object with a thin sharp tool to such an extent that it becomes possible to extract or push it to the exit. It is best to take a needle from a new 2 ml syringe.

  Extraction of tweezers by tweezers: 1 - disinfection of tweezers; 2, 3 - splinter removal; 4 - wound treatment

If a long sliver is stuck in the rough skin of the heel, then cut the epidermis with a sharp blade over the object and push it to the exit with a needle, after which the foreign body can easily be pulled out with tweezers.

With very severe pain, before the “surgical” removal of the debris, you can treat the affected area with a cotton swab moistened with novocaine solution. Ampoules with this anesthetic are sold individually at the pharmacy. Any cooling aerosol or ointment is also useful for anesthesia.

  Any small tweezers are suitable for removing splinters.   Alcohol or other disinfectant is an essential item in the surgical removal of a foreign body   To pry the skin over a splinter, it is most convenient to use a needle from a sterile syringe   Sterile cotton wool is needed to wipe tools and sore spots   Magnifier will be a good helper for those who see poorly.
  The blade should only be used with parallel skin splinter in the heel.

Traction ointments and medicines

If the splinter is deep and it is difficult to grab it by the tip, then to withdraw it outside you can use pharmacy anti-inflammatory drugs, which usually help to draw pus from the wound or abscess:

• Ichthyol ointment;
• balsamic liniment according to Vishnevsky;
• ointment Levomekol;
• powder or gel from badiaga (medicinal algae).

  The stretching gel and powder are made from medicinal seaweed - Badiaga

Apply any of these products to the damaged area, cover with a bandage folded four times and loosely fix with a band-aid. After 6-7 hours, remove the bandage. A splinter should come out with pus.

A wooden splinter can be “burned” with ordinary iodine. If you lubricate a sore spot every 2 hours, the sliver or shavings will “burn” and come out after a while on their own.

Soda

Also contributes to the release of splinter loosening the skin with soda gruel:

1. A teaspoon of baking soda should be mixed with the same amount of water.
2. Apply the mixture to the skin with a splinter.
3. Fix the product with adhesive tape. After 4-5 hours, the skin will soften, loosen and squeeze the chip itself.

The method is suitable for small splinters.

  Wet soda should cover the place of the splinter and, having fixed it with a band-aid, leave it for several hours (4–5)

Adhesive tapes and glue

If you injured your arm or foot with many small items while camping or fishing, where medical tools and equipment are not available, then try to remove the stuck objects with adhesive tape, adhesive tape or electrical tape. Glue a piece of adhesive tape to the affected area of \u200b\u200bthe skin, then gently tear it off. Most likely, most foreign bodies will remain on hand at hand. Repeat this action several times until all splinters come out. Just do not stick the tape to the skin with great effort - from this small objects can stick even deeper!

Ordinary PVA glue can provide exactly the same help. Lubricate them abundantly with a splinter and allow to dry completely. After that, the glue is separated in a thick layer - a foreign object, adhering to it, is removed from the body.

  PVA glue will help get rid of a splinter

The latter method is especially useful for extracting a splinter in children: a rare child will calmly let an adult with a metal tool or iodine in his hand calmly approach him.

Steaming

Salty hot water softens the skin and helps to remove splinter out. Procedure:

1. Pour hot water into a bowl or pan at a temperature that you can tolerate.
2. Add coarse salt at the rate of 2 tbsp. l for 1 glass of water.
3. Place a hand or leg with a splinter in this solution and steam for 20 minutes.
4. Take out the limb, wipe it dry and try to squeeze the spine out, gently squeezing the skin around it.

Hot soap-soda baths will also help soften the sore spot. The method for removing splinters by steaming is only suitable for those victims who have a fresh splinter.

  Hot baths loosen the skin, which contributes to the release of splinter out

Clay removal of old splinter

To combat a long-standing splinter, accompanied by an abscess of soft tissues, prepare an ointment from cosmetic clay:

1. Clay powder in the amount of 1 tbsp. l dilute with water to the consistency of thick sour cream.
2. Add ½ tsp. vinegar.
3. Apply the product on the skin with a splinter.
4. When the composition dries, rinse it off and brush the problem area fresh again.

Repeat the last action several times until the splinter comes out on the skin surface.

  Any cosmetic clay is used to remove old splinters.

Folk remedies for the speedy exit of a small alien subject

Often, people use a variety of folk methods to remove extraneous debris from the skin. They help someone, others do not, but if all other attempts to pull out a splinter were unsuccessful, then you can try to apply any of the following means to the wound at night:

• grated raw potatoes;
• a slice of fresh bacon;
• banana peel (apply with fruit side to the skin);
• aloe leaf (cut to the wound);
• olive or sunflower oil;
• heated resin of conifer;
• birch tar;
• soaked crumb of rye bread;
• cottage cheese (considered effective in suppuration and edema);
• pulp from grated soap and finely chopped onions.

All these products have a softening and loosening effect on the skin, making the splinter much easier to extract.

  It is believed that the peel of a banana, applied at night to a place affected by a splinter, can stretch a foreign body

Wound Care

After you have pulled out a splinter, slightly squeeze the edges of the wound with your fingers. Following a foreign object, the tomb will come out together with the remnants of dirt and pus, if it has formed.

The final and very important stage of manipulation is the antiseptic treatment of the site of introduction of the former splinter. Any disinfectant is suitable: iodine, brilliant green, hydrogen peroxide, boric acid solution, etc. If the splinter was large and left a deep bleeding wound, you can apply a sterile gauze bandage to this area or stick a bactericidal adhesive plaster.

  After removing the splinter, do not forget to treat the wound with greens or other disinfectant.

Over the next few days, observe the wound. If severe pain, redness, or swelling occurs, consult a surgeon. Most likely, an infection got into the wound and a purulent-inflammatory process began.

In which cases a visit to the doctor is inevitable

In some situations, you should not waste time on ineffective measures, but it is better to immediately seek medical help. For example, if a splinter stuck in the eyeball or in the area of \u200b\u200bthe nasolabial triangle.   The latter is fraught with penetration of pus into the cranial cavity and further into the brain.

Do not attempt to remove a piece of glass from under your skin yourself. Thus, you can crumble it, which will greatly complicate the task. The doctor’s help will be needed if the splinter has entered at a right angle very deep into the body or consists of several pieces, and if necessary, remove the sliver stuck under the nail.

Removing a deep-seated splinter in a small child is also better to entrust to a specialist. A pediatric surgeon or a traumatologist will remove the stuck item quickly and painlessly, and besides, it will correctly process the damaged area.

Possible consequences

Despite the fact that the splinter is small, damage to her skin can have complications. The most common of them is panaritium of the finger (purulent inflammation). Especially often, it begins with a splinter, which is long located deep under the nail. Paronychia develops a little less often - a lesion of the periungual roller.

What is a splinter?

Splinter   - this is any foreign body located in the skin or mucous membrane. Any object can act as a foreign body - a glass fragment, metal shavings, chips, spikes of plants and thorns. These objects can penetrate through mechanical damage to the skin ( or mucous) cover. This violates the integrity of the skin, which is accompanied by a pain symptom. However, very small splinters can penetrate painlessly and can be detected even with the development of complications.

Splinter options can be:

• spines of cactus and other plants;
• thorns of roses and other plants;
• wooden, metal shavings;
• sawdust, chips.

It is important to understand that along with a splinter, an infection also enters the body, because most of the above items are contaminated. That is why such a harmless phenomenon as a splinter is dangerous with its complications. The most common consequence of a splinter is panaritium - purulent inflammation of the tissues of the finger. Less commonly, a splinter can lead to the formation of an abscess ( localized inflammation).

Black splinters under the nails

Sometimes black stripes appear on the surface of the nail plate, which some mistake for a splinter. It should be noted immediately that these defects in the nail plate have nothing to do with the splinter. Very often, these bands are a manifestation of fungus or other diseases.

Nails, like hair, are a reflection of our health. According to the state of the nails, the doctor can determine the deficiency of iron in the body and other trace elements. It is important to pay attention to the direction of these bands. So, the transverse striation of the nail plate may indicate heart problems, while the longitudinal one indicates fungal pathology.

The causes of the black vertical stripes on the nails are:

• Fungal nail damage or onychomycosis.   It is the most common cause of black streaks. It is treated very easily with the help of local and systemic antifungal agents.
• Vitamin deficiency ( avitaminosis)   It also causes the fragility of nails and the appearance of black stripes on them. As a rule, this is a lack of B vitamins, as well as vitamins A and C.
• Iron deficiency ( anemia).   It is treated with iron preparations ( sorbifer).
• Pathology of the gastrointestinal tract.   Stomach problems can also cause black streaks on the nails. This is explained by the fact that with these pathologies, insufficient absorption of vitamins and trace elements occurs. Therefore, even if they enter the body in sufficient quantities, they are not absorbed at the level of the gastric and intestinal mucosa.

Cactus splinter

A splinter from a cactus is one of the most common types of splinter. As a rule, such splinters penetrate into the fingertips and under the nails. Pulling out such a splinter, most often, is not a big deal. If the cactus spike was more than one centimeter in size, then it is easy to pull it out with tweezers. But here it is necessary to be careful not to squeeze the forceps tightly so as not to break the splinter. If the thorns were small, the size of a couple of millimeters, then such splinters are easier to pull out with adhesive tape.
  Regardless of the method used to extract the splinter, it is important to observe good hygiene. The splinters are removed exclusively with clean hands, and the lesion site is treated with an antiseptic before and after.

Metal splinter

Metal splinters, as a rule, penetrate the body when working in a carpentry workshop. This type of splinter is very dangerous, as it immediately leads to the development of powerful inflammation. Therefore, if such a splinter cannot be removed immediately, you must consult a surgeon. It is impossible to independently remove a deeply penetrated metal splinter.

Symptoms of splinters in children and adults

The main symptom of a splinter is its visible end on the surface of the skin. If the splinter comes under the skin, then its symptoms depend on how deep it went. Superficial splinters are visible to the naked eye under a layer of the epidermis, and the skin around them becomes reddened. A deeply penetrated splinter is not visually visible, but it leads to the development of symptoms such as redness, swelling and pain.

Splinter inflammation

Any, even very small, splinter is accompanied by the development of the inflammatory process. In this case, inflammation is a protective reaction in response to the penetration of a foreign body into the body.
In most cases, manifestations of inflammation in a splinter are redness and local ( local) swelling. The first sign is due to the expansion of blood vessels of the skin, as a result of which they are saturated with blood, which gives a red tint. Edema is provoked by increased permeability of the same vessels, due to which the fluid from them is transudated ( follows) in the fabric. The exit of fluid into the tissue surrounding the splinter leads to the development of edema. And increased permeability of blood vessels, and their dilatation ( expansion) due to the action of inflammatory mediators, which is formed in response to the penetration of a foreign body into the body.

Further, the development of the clinical picture depends on the size of the splinter and on its further fate. If the splinter was timely removed and processed, then inflammation regresses ( passes) If the splinter was stopped or not completely removed ( or retrieved but not processed), the inflammatory process progresses further with the development of purulent inflammation.

Infection ( infection) after a splinter

Sometimes, even after removing the splinter, an infection may remain in the body. This can happen for several reasons. The most common cause is the remaining fragment of a splinter in the tissues or bacteria that initially penetrated with the splinter. Also, the cause of inflammation may be poor hygiene when removing the splinter. To avoid this, it is necessary to treat the place of the splinter with an antiseptic before and after extraction, and also to remove the splinter with exceptionally clean hands.

The most common infection after a splinter is panaritium - inflammation of the tissue of the fingers. The cause of panaritium is the penetration of pyogenic bacteria ( staphylococci or streptococci) into soft tissues. Penetration can occur through small splinters, wounds, abrasions. Panaritium is a very serious consequence, and if urgent measures are not taken, the infection can spread further along the arm. Involvement of the tissues of the hand, including tendons and joints, can result in finger amputation.

Panaritium species are:

• Cutaneous   - develops on the back of the finger. Around the nail bed accumulates pus. Outwardly, it looks like a dense bubble filled with a cloudy yellow liquid. The skin around the bladder becomes red, swollen and very tense. This phenomenon is accompanied by a feeling of pain and burning.
• Subcutaneous   - develops on the palmar surface of the fingers or hands. Pus in this case accumulates under dense skin. Due to the dense skin on the palmar surface, pus cannot spill out, but spreads deeper into the joints and bones. As a result, subcutaneous panaritium is often accompanied by joint damage.
• Under the nail   - is a frequent complication of the subungual splinter. Inflammation in this case covers the soft tissue under the nail. Accumulating pus often penetrates under the nail plate ( nail).
• Okolonogtevy   - is a frequent consequence of manicure carried out in unsanitary conditions. However, it can also be a complication of the subungual splinter. Inflammation affects the periungual cushion, pus accumulates in the same place.
• Tendinous   - most often is secondary, that is, it develops as a consequence of the primary felon. For example, with the penetration of pus from superficially located layers, with subcutaneous panaritium. It is a rather dangerous disease, can lead to amputation of the arm.
• Articular   - It is also most often a complication of skin panaritium, when pus, not finding a way out, begins to penetrate deeper into the joints and tendons.

Treatment of infection after a splinter cannot be done on an outpatient basis ( i.e. at home) These complications are an indication for urgent medical attention.

What to do if the splinter hurts?

Pain is the very first and obvious symptom of a splinter. Initially, it is a consequence of mechanical damage to the skin, as a result of which nerve endings are injured, which leads to the development of pain. However, further pain intensifies. This is explained by the development of edema and the accumulation of pus, as a result of which the surrounding tissue becomes tense. To eliminate the pain syndrome in this case, it is necessary to reduce swelling and reduce stress. This is best served by warm salt baths. According to the law of osmosis, excess fluid in the soft tissues will turn into hypertonic ( saturated with salt) solution.

What to do if a splinter breaks?

The remaining splinter over time begins to plague, which means the production and accumulation of pus. Pus is called a muddy liquid with an unpleasant ( sometimes fetid) odor, which is the result of purulent inflammation. The process of pus formation is called suppuration, and in the people - an abscess. For purulent inflammation, the presence of pathogenic microbes in the wound is necessary. Most often, these microbes penetrate the body along with a splinter. Most often purulent inflammation is provoked by pyogenic bacteria, such as staphylococci and clostridia.

If the splinter breaks, then, first of all, it must be removed. With the removal of the splinter, the suppuration process will stop. However, most often at the time of abscess, the splinter already deeply penetrates into the tissue, and it is impossible to extract it without surgical intervention. For this, the focus of purulent inflammation must be opened.

How to pull out painlessly ( to get) a splinter?

People rarely seek help to get a splinter in specialized medical facilities. As a rule, they get to the doctor’s appointment with complications - panaritium, suppuration. Until that moment, the victim is trying to independently remove the splinter. It should be noted that this is sometimes not so difficult to do. It is important to follow the basic rules.

The rules for the extraction of splinter are as follows:

• any splinter, regardless of size, is removed exclusively with clean hands;
• before removing, the affected area must be treated with an antiseptic ( it can be iodine, hydrogen peroxide, formic alcohol);
• the place after removal of the splinter should also be subsequently treated with an antiseptic;
• it is not recommended to try to squeeze a splinter, as this can drive it even deeper inside.

There are several ways to remove a shallow splinter. The most common way is to use tweezers or a needle ( needle from a syringe, not for sewing) Tweezers are used when the end of a splinter is visible on the surface of the skin. Previously, the splinter site and the tweezers themselves are treated with hydrogen peroxide or some other antiseptic. Next, you need to pick up the sticking splinter for the visible edge and pull it to the side opposite from the line of entry into the skin. In this case, it is important to pull out the splinter smoothly, otherwise it may break at the base. Part of the remaining splinter inside the splinter can fester over time and lead to the formation of an abscess.

Instead of tweezers, you can use a needle from a syringe. The syringe, of course, must be new, it is strictly forbidden to use used needles. The needle is recommended to be used when the splinter is very small and superficially entered under the skin. There is no such splinter for which to pick up, but it is clearly visible to the naked eye under the epidermis ( top layer of skin) After treatment of the lesion site, the needle is disconnected from the syringe and inserted under the skin over the splinter. The needle is smoothly advanced, thus, as if incising the skin over a splinter. As a result, the skin above the splinter is cut by the sharp edge of the needle, and the splinter itself is exposed, after which it is easily removed. An alternative to tweezers and a needle is ichthyol ointment.

How to pull out a deep splinter under the nail?

The fingers are the most favorite place for splintering, which is why the splinter is most often removed from the fingers or from under the nails. Depending on the location of the splinter, tweezers or a needle can be used to remove it. However, as a rule, splinters enter deep under the nail and become inaccessible for extraction. Therefore, in this case, it is recommended to initially resort to the help of an ointment or saline. They will help to remove the splinter to the surface, after which it will become easier to hook it with tweezers.

A popular home remedy is baking soda. It is mixed with ordinary water to a thick slurry state, after which it is applied to the surface with a splinter. Next, a patch is glued to the affected area and left for a day. Soda draws to the surface not only a splinter, but also the inflammatory fluid around it. If the splinter causes severe pain, then it is better to resort to an ichthyol ointment, which in addition has an analgesic ( anesthetic) the effect. The ointment is applied, as is soda.

After a day, the patch is removed, and the end of the splinter, which came out on the skin surface during this time, is captured by tweezers. If the splinter was very deep, then a very small end of the splinter can come to the surface. To make it easier to hook a pre-splinter, you can pry a needle. When the splinter is accessible to the naked eye, it is recommended to resort to tweezers. The edge of a splinter is seized with tweezers and gently stretches. Do not squeeze the tweezers strongly, as this can break the tip of the splinter. Pre-tweezers are sterilized in boiling water or treated with an antiseptic solution.

How to pull a splinter with a needle?

Sometimes a splinter is removed using a needle from a syringe. For this, the splinter should be located under the skin, but very superficially. At the same time, it should be visible to the naked eye. It is recommended to use a needle from a two-millimeter syringe. You can certainly resort to a larger needle ( the larger the syringe, the thicker the needle), but in this case it will be more difficult to expose the splinter. The syringe must be new and in sealed packaging. After removing the syringe, the needle must be disconnected and held by the base. Preliminarily, the place of introduction of the splinter is recommended to be treated with an alcohol solution. Further, holding the needle by the base, its sharp end is introduced parallel to the splinter under the skin. The needle should pass between the skin and the splinter parallel to the last. With the sharp edge of the needle, it is necessary to slightly raise the skin, thereby cutting through it. Having cut the skin over the splinter, the latter is easily removed with the sharp edge of the needle.

How to pull a splinter without a needle?

Instead of a needle, you can use tweezers, ointment, and sometimes even adhesive tape to remove the splinter. Tweezers are suitable when the splinter has not completely entered under the skin, and its end is visible above the skin surface. In this case, the free end of the splinter is captured by tweezers, and then removed. A prerequisite for this manipulation is the treatment of the site with an antiseptic before and after extraction of the splinter.
  The use of adhesive tape or patch is suitable in the case of very small splinters located superficially ( for example, if fiberglass or small spines of a cactus act as a splinter) To do this, pre-cut a piece of adhesive tape, which in size should cover the affected area. The tape is carefully glued, but it is not pressed and carefully removed after 10 seconds. Small splinters remain on the tape, however, if this did not happen, then the procedure can be repeated.

Some ointments will also help to cope with a splinter. The most common remedy in this case is ichthyol ointment. The ointment contains components such as ichthyol and petroleum jelly, which have anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects. Ointment is easily purchased at pharmacies, sold without a prescription. The skin around the splinter is pre-treated with an antiseptic solution, after which a thin layer of ointment is applied to the splinter and the area around it. After this, the splinter is sealed with a band-aid and left for 10 hours. Ichthyol enhances the regeneration processes ( recovery) and metabolism in tissues, eliminates inflammation and, thus, “draws” a splinter. After 10 to 14 hours, the patch is removed, and the splinter comes out by itself.

How to pull a splinter with soda?

Sometimes splinters go deep into the tissue, so it becomes impossible to pick them up with tweezers or a needle. In order to pull out a splinter in this case, resort to the use of ointments. The ointment is applied to the affected area of \u200b\u200bthe skin, and then covered. In a day ( minimum 10 to 12 hours) remove the patch. Ichthyol ointment, or any other, draws a splinter to the surface, making it easier to extract.

It should be noted that such products can also be made at home.
  For example, pasta from baking soda is a popular recovery agent. It includes ordinary baking soda and a small amount of boiled water. The ingredients are mixed together to a paste, after which the resulting slurry is applied to the affected area. A tampon is applied on top and a patch is sealed for a day. The mechanism of action of soda is similar to the effect of saline solution - due to the difference in osmolar pressure between the affected area and the soda, the splinter comes out.

How to handle a splinter?

Splinter treatment is a prerequisite for its removal. This procedure will reduce the risk of purulent complications. For this, as a rule, the simplest tools that are in the home medicine cabinet are used.

Tools for the treatment of splinters are:

• hydrogen peroxide;
• zelenka ( Diamond green);
• alcohol iodine solution;

Even more dangerous if the splinter is a tiny piece of glass. If she got into the tissue close to the nerve ending, and her protruding tip touches the objects, then by sharp stitching pain we notice a splinter right away. But sometimes when getting into less sensitive parts of the body, we guess about the presence of a splinter only with the development of the inflammatory process, when edema, throbbing pain, suppuration begins. So, the infection got into the wound.

The consequences of splintering

With the penetration of an infected splinter under the skin and untimely medical attention, a person may catch tetanus or sepsis, as a result of which gangrene may develop on the damaged part of the limb, which will require urgent amputation of the finger, arm or leg. This is the maximum threat that remote splinters conceal. If the skin around the driven chip does not turn red, it can be removed on its own, although some extreme people practice waiting for an abscess, which displays a splinter with pus on the surface of the skin.

A needle / tweezers and alcohol are sufficient to remove an uninfected splinter. But you must remove it without relying on luck.

If the splinter is a small fragment of glass, its presence is easily determined by the stitching pain at the penetration site, when the foreign body will press with a sharp tip on the nerve endings. When ignoring a glass splinter, the development of the inflammatory process occurs quite ...

A splinter can stick into the skin while working in the garden, with any household and household activities. Sometimes a splinter can be so small that a person almost does not feel its presence. In this case, the skin itself will eventually expel the foreign body. But if the splinter is so big that it brings discomfort and pain, urgent measures must be taken to remove it as soon as possible.

What to do if a splinter is stuck in a hand

  Before taking any measures to remove the splinter from the finger, you need to thoroughly rinse your hands and all the tools that will be needed to carry out the "operation". This is especially true in cases where a splinter was obtained during dirty work - chopping wood, mopping, working with wood. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water. Then treat with alcohol the place where the splinter, needle and tweezers stuck. Make a couple of clean napkins. Instead of a regular sewing needle, it is better to use a sterile syringe needle. The thorn is best pulled out with good ...

While working in the country, I very much slid a finger. It’s impossible to get a splinter. The hospital is very far. What to do?

Good afternoon, Eugene! In no case can you scribble a splinter with your finger, otherwise it will go even deeper. Since your splinter, according to your words, is long, you should do the following: take a needle or a pin, ignite it with fire (a match or a lighter will do) and try to loosen and pry it. When the tip of the splinter appears, take it with tweezers and pull it out at the same angle at which the splinter entered under the skin. If after removal, when pressed, you feel dull pain, then you removed the splinter completely, if acute, then the splinter still remains.

After removal, the wound must be washed, treated with an antiseptic and sealed with a plaster to prevent external infection.

Human skin is very delicate and vulnerable. And we work and are inattentive. So to put yourself a splinter is easy. But removing it, pulling it out from under the skin is much more difficult. Wooden sharp sliver, and thin thorns of plants, and some metal shavings can get under the skin. They may not cause pain, but the risk of developing infections due to inflammation is quite large.

The most common way is to remove the splinter with a needle.

No matter how painful the method with a needle, but this is the most effective method to pull a splinter from under the skin. Just take a non-sewing stupid needle - this is truly a torment. I recommend removing splinters with a needle from a disposable syringe. It is much more effective and less painful. In addition to the needle, you must have tweezers to grab the tip of the stuck item. It’s very difficult to pick up a splinter with your nails and this is extremely rare. You can pick out a half-finger, but you still can’t grab it. So, with the needle it’s clear. But what are the ways ...

They break the splinter itself, unsuccessfully trying to take it out with unsuitable objects; contribute to the spread of the infectious process by manipulating unwashed hands and improvised objects; they even more deeply introduce a foreign body into the nail bed.

The second error happens less frequently, and is associated with a high threshold of pain sensitivity. Sometimes it happens that the victim does not notice splinters under the nail. After 6 hours (on average), the infection begins to spread in the soft tissues of the finger. This is manifested as follows:

Around the affected nail, the skin may swell; a pulsating pain appears in the lesion, indicating a purulent process; hyperemia (redness) develops.

What is a splinter?

A splinter is any foreign body located in the skin or mucous membrane. Any object can act as a foreign body - a glass fragment, metal shavings, chips, spikes of plants and thorns. These objects can penetrate through mechanical damage to the skin (or mucous membrane). This violates the integrity of the skin, which is accompanied by a pain symptom. However, very small splinters can penetrate painlessly and can be detected even with the development of complications.

Splinter options can be:

Spines of a cactus and other plants; thorns of roses and other plants; wooden, metal shavings; sawdust, slivers. It is important to understand that along with a splinter, an infection also enters the body, because most of the above items are contaminated. That is why such a harmless phenomenon as a splinter is dangerous with its complications. The most common consequence of a splinter is panaritium - purulent inflammation of the tissues of the finger. Less often, a splinter can lead to ...

Good day to all!) Can someone advise something sensible or share their own experience?

A month and a half ago, I dug gloves with nettles and accidentally grabbed a gooseberry branch. A spike entered the thumb of my left hand (I'm right handed). A week of trying to pull him out yielded nothing. The skin is overgrown. I forgot about the splinter. 2-3 weeks passed, and the finger began to tingle when you bend and grab something. A week later, I remembered that there was a splinter. The finger still painfully hurts, but apparently there is no inflammation, an ordinary finger.

Two weeks ago, I went to the clinic. The surgeon clipped me 10 days (4 visits in the best lines of the city clinic

), I did not see a splinter. I made soda lotions for his intended purpose, the finger was slightly peeled off and still hurts. As a result, on Monday, he sent me to another surgeon in the clinic.

On Tuesday, I was at the second surgeon. He also does not see anything, sent me to an ultrasound. He said to do a compress alcohol + chlorhexidine and smear with ointment ....

You must admit that a splinter is a fairly familiar problem for everyone, and it is so unpleasant to recall it. If you think that it can only be driven when you are working with wood, then this is not true, because it is enough to lean on the edge of the table and you can get injured.

However, some, not knowing how to properly remove the splinter, act on the principle that, they say, it will come out of itself, the skin will push out the foreign body. Yes, indeed it can happen, but no one can guarantee you that it will be quick and without consequences. Therefore, it is better to intervene. In addition, if measures are not taken immediately, the splinter will bring not only pain, but also infections. And then serious infection can go, in which the arm is cut off. But now you should not worry, because in this article we will tell you how to pull a splinter in simple ways.

Infection. all the way to gangrene.
Even more dangerous if the splinter is a tiny splinter of glass. If she got into the tissue close to the nerve ending, and her protruding tip touches the objects, then by sharp stitching pain we notice a splinter right away. But sometimes when getting into less sensitive parts of the body, we guess about the presence of a splinter only with the development of the inflammatory process, when edema, throbbing pain, suppuration begins. So, the infection got into the wound.

Trying to pull the splinter out with your fingers (using the scraping method) is not only useless, but also dangerous. Most likely, you just break off the tip sticking out above the surface of the skin, and then pulling it out even with the help of tools will be much more difficult.

If the splinter is very small, it is better to try to strongly press on two sides of the adjacent skin: it may come to the surface itself. You can try to loosen a splinter a little more authentically and pry it off with a thin needle or pin (which must first be calcined over a burning fire ...

A splinter in the skin is a situation familiar to the vast majority of adults and children. Mostly we insert the skin on the hands, and the next most popular area of \u200b\u200bdamage is the feet. As a rule, splinters of this localization are much more difficult to remove, which leads to suppuration and various complications of this process. Particularly serious consequences of a splinter in the foot can have for elderly people, diabetics, as well as people with immunoglobulin A deficiency or systemic immunodeficiency.

Features of splinters in the foot

The skin on the feet is designed for coarsening, so a splinter in the heel is an unusual condition for the body

The skin on the feet of most people is quite dense, and anatomically designed for coarsening, which prevents splintering at all.

Since we barely walk on the ground on the ground, and we are severely struggling with attempts at hormonal keratinization of the skin, our body is faced with a situation that, in principle, should not be.
