Over time, due to excess weight or swelling, fingers become thicker.
In this case, there is a problem with the ring, because its diameter has not changed. This causes discomfort.
The ring literally squeezes the finger, so the blood flow is disrupted. And this is already very dangerous. So the ring must be removed. But here is where the main problem arises. How to do this if the finger has become thicker?
We will give you some tips that will help you remove the ring yourself and as painlessly as possible.
1. First, put your hand in cold water for a few minutes. Then lift it up and do not put it down for 15 minutes. This will allow the blood and lymph to drain from the wrist area. This will make your fingers a little thinner. And you will probably be able to remove the ring without any difficulty.
2. Everyone probably knows about this method. Before removing the ring, rub your finger with soap. Then it should come off easily. But you need to remove the ring slowly so as not to hurt yourself. You need to unscrew it from your finger like a nut.
3. Try to pull the skin towards the base of the finger. Then the skin folds will decrease, and the ring will be easier to pull off.
4. Wrap your finger with transparent tape as tightly as possible. And try to move the ring along the tape.
5. This method is effective, but time-consuming. You will need a regular thread. One end of the thread should be pushed under the ring to the base of the finger. The other part of the thread should be wound around the finger from the jewelry to the nail. The wound end of the thread should be slowly unwound and simultaneously pulled out so that the ring begins to move towards the nail.
In conclusion, we will say that it is not always possible to remove the ring on your own. In this case, you need to contact specialists. But then the ring can simply be bitten off with nippers.
