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.

Same. Never knew it was a thing as I've had dogs in my life for over 30 years. Newest rescue of last year has magic hair that finds its way into my feet.

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 😕

[-] IntegrationLabGod@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

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.

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 just love when I get these ingrown things like 0.5mm thick in diameter (in my beard) :) They have a tendency to just slide right out, leaving a small hole in the skin.

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
