When a finger is stabbed with a thorn that cannot be seen, the thorn is removed in a way that ensures sterilized hygiene, and alcohol and iodine will be used. This includes the process of peeling, removing the thorn, and sterilizing the bandage.
First of all, you need to prepare the instruments: tweezers, sterilized alcohol, iodine, gauze, effective light source, needle and so on, and then carry out the removal of the prick.
1. Peeling: use a sterilized needle to open the skin of the affected area, and the action should be gentle. After opening, the wound is slightly enlarged to a size that can be used by forceps.
2. Prick removal: Shine a light source on the affected area to locate the prick. Lift the stinger with the sterilized forceps and pull it out slowly. The purpose of slow extraction is to prevent secondary damage to the wound caused by the barbs on the stinger.
3. Dressing: After removing the thorn, disinfect the affected area with iodine, apply pressure to stop the bleeding, and then dress the wound with gauze.
It is best to seek prompt medical attention for this condition and have it handled by a medical professional. Doing it on your own will easily lead to infection and bleeding.
