I woke up this morning feeling some weird pain in my fingers, I thought ugh, just one of these days isn’t it. Then as I scrolled through lemmy, I accidentally bumped my phone against the area where my finger was hurting, and felt a sharp pain. Then I looked. THERE WAS A FUCKING PIECE OF HAIR INSIDE MY SKIN!!! Fucking triggered my OCD and I spend the last 30 minutes getting that hair out, first with my fingernails, then I found tweezers and keep trying to pull it out. It fucking hurt as hell. Finally got it out just around 10 minutes ago, and then spend 5 minutes washing the area just to make sure there’s no infection. I fucking hate random pieces of hair AHHHH. I wanna scream.
Ugh these are awful. Glad you got it out! My dog’s fur has pierced my foot multiple times.
It happens all the time after I trim my beard. I end up just scraping the skin with a sewing needle dipped in alcohol and it takes 2 seconds to do. Tweezers dont work usually because the skin probably started growing back over it.
Bet it felt great when it came out
I still feel the pain even though I already got it out 😕
As a beard haver: them things are sharp when freshly cut. I experience this on a semi regular basis. Helps to soak your finger sometimes, then you gotta be careful not to break it when you pull it out.
I get a couple hair splinters a week. Having a black lab and thin skin will do that to you haha. I feel your pain
Try using a piece of tape to get the hair out next time. That always works better for me than digging it out with tweezers.
