please help,i have a thorn from a kaffir lime tree in the top of my finger[2months] and its so painfull every time i touch it.

i have read that hydrogen peroxide will help to draw it out or has anyone any suggestions.

Man up and dig it out with a sewing pin.

Edit - I didn't catch the 2 months in my first read, you may need to do something a little more drastic as it's embedded and there isn't an opening at this point ? Peroxide will only kill the surface layer of skin.

Stop by a local clinic and have it out, perhaps with a shot to deaden the finger.

thanks todd i think when it broke after going in it left the point end under the skin.i have rubbed my tongue over the spot but there is definately nothing protruding.

clinic,needle someone will have to drag me there.i have my blood tested every month[6yrs now] and my toes still curl up.

It may be getting infected and require some antibiotics. It is a foreign body so needs to be removed and a clinic is really the only option.

Magno plasm is great stuff, you can get it here and I;ll try to get a photo for you..... QUOTE ... Magnoplasm® paste is a drawing ointment containing glycerol and dried magnesium sulfate. The glycerol acts as a humectant which means it attracts water to itself and magnesium sulphate works via osmosis. The magnesium sulfate is dried so does not contain any water and when applied to the skin exhibits a strong osmotic effect and glycerol is hygroscopic, meaning it has a strong affinity for water and thus will draw out moisture from the inflamed area (as well as the atmosphere). Great to have in the First Aid Kit ... along with a needle if ya brave enough ....
