and i cant get the ring off,i have tried ice but it seams to a slow,the

cut is not healing and the knucle has swollen blocking from getting

ring off,,HELP

Try soaking the finger in clean very warm water with

epsom salts in it. This should open up the wound and

let it drain if infected and help to reduce the

swelling. Cleanse with Tea Tree Oil or Witch Hazel.

Ice is good for the first 48 hours after than heat is

best. If this does not help or you notice redness that

increases or starts to create a line up the hand or

arm get to a Dr. immediately as that can be signs of

blood poisoning and is very dangerous.

Windex will get the ring off. Just pour it directly on your hand. I personally

can't use neosporin because I react adversely to the petrol in it. I just use

plain old peroxide(for everything).It always works. Alison

Try soaps or oils. Don't panic. Also try soaking it in Epsom salts

solution to reduce the swelling first (it may smart on your cut, however).

 

I am concerned about a cut that causes so much swelling. If you see any red

streaks or have any fever you could have a very serious infection. Watch

carefully! You may need to cut the ring off, if you are not getting good

circulation, it will not heal and increase your risk of infection!

SOAK IT IN ICE WATER FOR AWHILE, THEN PUT SOME DISH DETERGENT ON FINGER

AND PULL THE SKIN FROM UNDER THE EING IN A DOWNWARD MOTION ON ONE SIDE

AND PUSH THE RING UP ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE. keep pushing and pulling

till you can wiggle it off. This usually works. If all else fails, stop

by the fire dept for help.

another way to get a ring off your finger. is to put dish soap or oil

around the ring. get some fishing link or dental floss slip it under the ring

and

just go around and around and little by little the ring will come off.
