Hair stuck in the nail gap can be treated by rinsing with water, pulling it out on your own, or surgical treatment. The choice depends on the extent of the hair stuck in the nail gap.
1. Rinsing with clean water: If the hair is stuck in the nail crevice, not directly into the flesh, but only in the crevice, you can choose the method of rinsing with clean water. By rinsing or soaking with plenty of water, the hair may come out.
2. Self-pulling out: If the hair is more lightly embedded in the nail crevice, it can be pulled out on its own. You need to disinfect the area with iodophor or alcohol and gently pull out the hair with clean tweezers. However, you should avoid excessive force, which may cause the hair to break and cannot be removed.
3. Surgery: If the hair is stuck into the nail gap to a deeper extent and accompanied by redness, swelling, pain and other symptoms, you need to consult a doctor in a timely manner, you may need to use sterile needles or minimally invasive surgical methods to clean out the hair inside the flesh, otherwise the hair will cause pus and infection if the hair exists in the subcutaneous tissue for a long period of time.
Hair into the nail gap needs to be removed as soon as possible, if accompanied by redness, swelling, pus and other conditions need to be promptly to the hospital, with the help of the doctor to remove the hair.
