Serious wounds can be deep and dangerous with severe bleeding and a risk of infection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Seek prompt medical help<\/strong> for a foreign object that is very painful or is deeply embedded in the skin or muscle. Follow these precautions and steps first:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Don&#8217;t try to remove the object. Doing so could cause further harm.<\/li>\n<li>Bandage the wound. First put a piece of gauze over the object. Then put clean padding around the object before binding the wound securely with a bandage or a piece of clean cloth. Take care not to press too hard on the object.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can usually safely remove a small foreign object that&#8217;s just under the surface of the skin. Examples of such an object are a wood splinter, thorn, and fragment of fiberglass. Follow these first-aid steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wash your hands and clean the area well with soap and water.<\/li>\n<li>Use tweezers cleaned with rubbing alcohol to remove the object. Use a magnifying glass to help you see better.<\/li>\n<li>If the object is under the surface of the skin, sterilize a clean, sharp needle by wiping it with rubbing alcohol. Use the needle to gently break the skin over the object and lift up the tip of the object.<\/li>\n<li>Use a tweezers to grab the end of the object and remove it.<\/li>\n<li>Wash the area again and pat dry. Apply petroleum jelly or an antibiotic ointment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, seek medical help if:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The object is hard to see, such as clear glass, or doesn&#8217;t come out easily, such as can happen with a fishhook.<\/li>\n<li>The injury involves an eye or is close to an eye.<\/li>\n<li>The wound is deep or dirty, and the injured person&#8217;s last tetanus vaccination was more than five years ago. Your healthcare professional may recommend a booster.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Got something stuck in your skin?
