What should I do about a thorn in my hand ???!


Question: What should I do about a thorn in my hand !?!?!?
I have a long thorn in my hand it for about a month now and if i press I can feel it still it there!. It is in a bubble of puss but it has sealed over despite my digging with needles etc and I have poulticed it for nights at a time but it hasn't appeared!. Should I go and have it taken out or will it be absorbed!?!?!? :-{Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
i had the same thing ,but as a blackhead that sealed over !.you must remember Susan things that get stuck in your SKIN rarely dissolve into your blood stream
i went to docs and he had to slit open with razor blade then squeeze puss out suggest you do sameWww@Answer-Health@Com

Well in the long run, as long as u are cleaning the "wound" and making sure it does not get infected it should be fine!. although the puss around it and over it may not be a good thing!. Try and drain that away to make sure the healing cells in your body can work properly!.

Yes the thorn should eventually be absorbed but this is different for different people

If you are still worried and are scared anyones advice with not help further, and will only cause more problem, see your GP/nurse/doctor to ask proffesional help and assistance!.

please have it removed!. the torn will not dissolve nor absorb by your body!. the pus will continue to accumulate resulting to an abscess, and if this continues you'll eventually get more sick!. it could even lead to bacteremia!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i'd go & get it removed!. all that digging with needles can't be doing any good!. chances are, it will gradually come out of its own accord, but you're risking infection in the mean time!. it'll hurt less if a nurse does it too! diane!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you have tried all of that with no results it's better to see a Dr!. He or she can do their magic and prescribe an antibiotic to cure it from the inside out!. Do it before they have to amputate!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i would get it taken out!. either by your parents or someone you know!. i dont think it would get absorbed but i think the puss will just build up and be more painful than it already is!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Get it out!. DIY or see someone!. It will cause you problems before it dissolves!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
