Don't pick a thorn with a needle if you prick your hand, teach you a trick to easily let the thorn "run out", simple and effective.
In daily life, we often encounter some seemingly small but annoying small accidents, such as accidentally pricking a finger by a wooden thorn. The sudden feeling of pain often makes people want to deal with it immediately. However, many people may make the mistake of squeezing with their hands or picking at something with something, often resulting in worsening the pain and even causing an infection. Today, I would like to share with you a simple and effective way to make it easy for you to deal with such a small accident and let the wooden thorn "escape" on its own.
First, you'll need to find a clean container that's a decent size to fit your fingers. Then, add an appropriate amount of white vinegar to the container. White vinegar is a commonly used condiment in our daily cooking, which can not only flavor and enhance freshness, but also has the effect of softening the surface of the skin.
Next, gently soak the injured finger in white vinegar. Be careful to make sure your fingers are completely submerged in white vinegar for better functioning. The duration of the soak can be adjusted appropriately according to the individual situation, and in general, a minimum of 15 to 25 minutes is required.
During this time, you can wait quietly and observe the changes in your fingers. You'll notice that as the white vinegar soaks, the skin begins to gradually fold and become softer. And the wooden thorns that were originally pierced into the skin will also be more likely to stand out because of the softening of the skin. When you feel that the wooden thorns have protruded enough to be seen with the naked eye or lightly touched, they can be carefully removed. Since the skin has been softened by white vinegar, the process of pricking will be relatively easy and the pain will be greatly reduced.
So, why does white vinegar have such a magical effect? This is mainly due to the fact that white vinegar contains organic acids such as acetic acid, which can penetrate into the surface layer of the skin and destroy the structure of the stratum corneum of the skin, making it soft and stretchable. When the skin is softened, skin cells that are tightly bound together create tiny gaps that provide space for the spikes to move, making them easier to pull out.
In addition, white vinegar also has a certain anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effect, which can help reduce the inflammatory response at the wound site during the soaking process and reduce the risk of infection.
This method is ideal for use in a home setting. I hope that when you encounter similar small accidents, you can try this method, so that wooden thorns will no longer be your trouble. At the same time, I also hope that everyone can share this tip with more friends and family, so that more people can benefit.
