I Hurt My Hand And Have A Piece Of Thorn Inside My Finger, Suggest Remedy
Hi,I m wondering whats going on with my finger,about 3wks ago my fingertip was pricked by a little ball with thorns on it,there was only a little red spot but never seen a thorn in it and now its swollen and a little sore but doesn t have any puss or green color,I was told there might be a piece of thorn inside and it will work its way out?
Thank you for asking! If thorn is in it then it might be the cause of the delay in wound healing.You should visit ER and let them take care of the thorn as it is a foreign body and immune system does not like invaders. take good topical care of the wound. It will soon be good as new. take care S Khan
