In life, there are always those two unlucky times – fingers, feet or other parts of the body into the thorn. Aigoo, this “thorn in the flesh” no matter how to endure at the time to pull it out. But there are some small thorns, can not be easily removed. At this time, most people are getting anxious, some people turn their faces away and can’t bear to look at it, let the little ones pick it raw with a fine needle, some people keep licking it with their tongues, soaking it with vinegar, soaking it with wine ……. See such a variety of treatment methods, good doctor I am also drunk, in the end how to deal with those who can not pull out the small thorns? First of all, it is important to find out what thorns are stuck into the meat, whether they are relatively clean or heavily contaminated, and what adverse consequences will occur if they are not taken out. The most common thorns that get stuck in the meat are the fibers of plants and the stems of flowers. For example, when using disposable bamboo chopsticks are most likely to stab the hand, and also in contact with bamboo mats, acacia, rose branches when accidentally prick the body. However, the inflammation caused by a small number of tiny thorns can be confined by wrapping and usually does not cause clinical symptoms; if the diameter is more than 1 mm, the infection is prone to occur, and even the infection spreads along the tissue gap to cause purulent dactylitis, purulent tenosynovitis, and purulent arthritis; although most of the microorganisms will be destroyed by the human Although most of the microorganisms will be eliminated by the immune system, the continuous foreign body reaction will cause synovial hyperplasia, cysts and granuloma formation; some of the wooden spurs will be displaced after extrusion, leading to tendon sheath stenosis, nerve canal stenosis and corresponding pain, activity disorder, numbness and other symptoms, and even inducing cancer of the damaged tissue. The next is organic debris, such as rubber soles that enter the bottom of the foot with nails, short hairs, and nails that pierce into the flesh. First of all, it is important to understand one thing: the human body reacts much more strongly to organic matter that enters the body than inorganic matter, especially rubber and plastic products. If not removed, it will soon cause an inflammatory reaction, and if the location of the piercing is deep, after antibiotic treatment, the body surface wound may heal, but deep infection persists, repeatedly occurring wound flowing pus, delayed. Once again, metal debris, the body’s reaction to inorganic substances such as metals and ceramics is much weaker than organic substances (but the human body reacts more to some mollusks or reptiles shells), and can even remain in the human body for years without any symptoms, similar situations are common among some veterans. The inflammatory reaction caused by tiny metal or ceramic debris is very mild (except for heavy metals that are toxic to humans such as copper, nickel, cadmium, etc.), and rarely causes significant clinical symptoms unless the location is specific. Therefore, in summary, if the foreign body does not pierce important anatomical structures such as blood vessels and nerves, small and small amounts of wood spikes, metal fragments or ceramics pierced into the human body can be treated only by disinfection and follow-up observation; however, when organic materials such as rubber enter the human body, it is recommended to remove them in time to avoid serious complications. Secondly, after a thorn is embedded in the limb, do not try to rub or squeeze it, as it is difficult to squeeze the thorn out, but will instead squeeze the sharp thorn deeper, or squeeze the fragile thorn into numerous small thorns, which increases the difficulty of taking out the thorn in vain. The wound should be cleaned and disinfected in time, and special tools should be prepared to remove the thorns as much as possible. For example, use a magnifying glass to observe the position, angle and depth of the thorn, so as to provide a method for removing it. If it is still difficult to remove, apply ichthyolite ointment to the puncture site, bandage the wound with a band-aid, and remove it a day later; the puncture is often brought out on the band-aid. If this method does not work, you can also use water and baking soda to make a homemade paste to put on the stabbing place, wrapped with a bandage, a day later removed, the stab may be in the paste, or by the flesh emerged, and then available tweezers to remove, or flush out the stab with water. Another trick is to use transparent tape to gently cover the thorn or fragile small thorns, and pull the tape in the opposite direction of the thorn, the thorn will be stuck by the tape and brought out of the body, which is effective for thorns that are not completely embedded in the skin. In short, not all thorns must be removed; do not panic if the thorns are not removed, and do not rub or squeeze them, but disinfect and bandage them in time. Finally, the above discussion is only about the kind of small thorns, small injuries, for containing poisonous thorns or larger stab wounds, wounded important anatomical structure of the stab wound, please quickly seek medical attention.
