She chewed black bread with salt, then took a patch. Everything fell into place! Bashny.Net

A splinter caught under the skin is not a pleasant phenomenon, but, alas, such a trifle will happen to each of us many more times. So how to quickly get rid of such a tiny, but insidious chip? There is a way, and not even one!





Editorial "Site" will tell splinter In two accounts with the most unexpected things. It's working!

How to get a splinter out

1. Tweezers
   This is probably the most common way to get rid of a splinter if the ill-fated foreign body sticks out above the surface of the skin. Grab the tip of the splinter with a disinfected tool and pull it out slowly. If the splinter entered at an angle, in no case pull it up, only in the same direction as it entered. After removal, do not forget to treat the affected area with an antiseptic to avoid tissue infection.
   
   
   
   
   
2. Black bread
   This non-standard method will work perfectly in a situation where the splinter broke down or is so small that it is impossible to see. Take a slice of black bread and sprinkle plenty of salt. Next, you should thoroughly chew and roll a small ball. Lay it on the affected area, secure it with a Band-Aid and bind it. Leave this compress overnight and take off the bandage the next morning. In most cases, the foreign body leaves on its own. After the procedure, treat the injured skin with an antiseptic and apply a bandage.
   
   
   
   
   
3. PVA glue
   This way to get rid of a splinter is suitable for capricious children who can not get close to either tweezers or needles. If the edge of the splinter is visible, apply some glue to the affected area and let it dry. Voila, dried glue is removed along with the ill-fated splinter.
   
   
   
4. Baking soda
   Mix a few spoons of baking soda with water to make gruel. Such a paste of baking soda will cause the skin to swell and push the foreign body to the surface. We recommend using this method if all previous attempts were in vain, because swollen skin will make the use of other methods very difficult and often useless.
   
   
   
5. needle
   This method is useful if the splinter entered at an angle, and its edge cannot be grasped with tweezers. Really, you'll need a hard hand and falcon vision. Treat the tip of the needle with an antiseptic and cut open a small area of skin right above the splinter. As a rule, such manipulation is enough to pick up a splinter with tweezers and pull out.
   
   
   
6. Medical patch
   This method will work hurriedly if the wound is healed, but the edge of the splinter is left above the surface. It's simple: a piece of adhesive patch paste on the affected area and leave for a day, or better for a day. If you wet it while washing your hands, no problem! The skin under the patch swells, the crust softens and the skid is removed along with the adhesive fabric. If you can not get rid of a foreign body in one fell swoop, just use tweezers.
