Of all the complicated problems in the world, one of the most trivial but annoying to ask for forgiveness is to remove the ring that is small and stuck on the finger. Do not panic! There are many easy tips that you can follow to remove a ring that is difficult to remove from a finger, without having to think about mutilating your hand.
Tips for removing the ring from the finger
1. Apply the oil on the finger
According to the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, the first way you can remove a ring stuck on your finger is to apply oil, lotion, butter / margarine, petroleum jelly, or soap to it. These materials can make the surface of the skin of your fingers smoother, making it easier to remove the ring. In addition, these ingredients can also reduce friction between the ring and your finger, thus preventing injury to the finger.
After applying one of these ingredients, remove the ring from the finger by turning it and pulling it slowly until the ring is removed. Do not force the ring out if it doesn't come out. You may need to turn the ring a few times until the ring advances and leaves your finger.
2. Raise your hands up
Maybe you've just heard of this method, but it doesn't hurt to practice it, especially if the ring can't come off due to swelling of your finger. How to? You just need to raise your hands as high as possible for 5-10 minutes. This is so that the swelling in your finger is reduced slightly because the blood flows quickly back to the heart and then the ring is easily removed.
3. Soak your fingers in cold water
Try soaking your fingers in cold water (not water with ice cubes). And, allow a few minutes until you feel the ring on your finger slightly loosen. After that, slowly remove the ring from your finger. Remember, don't hurt your finger. If it's still difficult, you shouldn't be forced. You can still try other ways.
4. Using thread
The thread can also be used as a medium to help remove your ring stuck in your finger. The trick, tuck the thread from under your ring that is stuck in your finger. If this is difficult, you may need a small needle to help slip the thread under the ring. Be careful not to cut your finger.
Next, wrap the end of the string around your finger (not too tight). Wrap it out until it is at your fingertips. Then, pull the other side of the string around your finger (outward). Pull gently with a motion as if the loop of yarn is untied. This movement of the thread helps to push your ring out of your finger.
