Sea urchirn sting

2016-12-08 22:46:56
Hi, I was stung by a sea urchirn while snorkelling. There's one particular sting which I'm worried about.. tried removing it but it seems a little part is still inside.. Will my skin automatically remove/dissolve it or should I get it removed medically? Also.. Can I have any home remedy to get it out if possible .. It's been a week since I got stung

Hello there.  I can understand your concern.  There might be a foriegn body. So i wouldn't advise you to try removing yourself because might not be successful or might not be able to remove it completely.  Get it checked out by a general surgeon in person for further evaluation and management.  Best regards.

Hello .. It's not just foreign body, if you see it closely there is swelling around it... It will shed off on its own, if you are removing it use new needle , apply antiseptic ointment after removal, pain will be there for some days.. Otherwise you can get it removed by doctor...
