My fingers were squeezed by the door and turned purple and it hurts.

In daily life, many people get their fingers squeezed by doors because they are not careful when closing the door. If the squeezing is severe, it will cause great pain to the injured person. In order to relieve this painful feeling, the injured must take certain methods to care for the injuries in time. So, what should you do if your fingers are squeezed by the door and turn purple and hurt? Here we will introduce the solution to you!

1. When your finger is pinched, first observe and determine the severity of the injury. If it is just a minor crush injury, most families can handle it themselves. The treatment method is: first apply ice to the injured finger, do not let the ice directly touch the injured finger, and wrap it with a single layer of towel or handkerchief. Apply ice for about 20-30 minutes. Avoid massaging the injured finger to avoid aggravating the injury.

2. If the injured finger is not serious but there is skin damage, clean the wound with normal saline and apply mercurochrome, then wrap it with sterile gauze and secure it with adhesive tape, making sure it is appropriately tight.

3. If the pinching is severe, it may cause finger bone fracture or fracture, or joint dislocation. Others have compression or tearing of muscles, ligaments, and soft tissues. In this case, you should immediately use two splints that are close to the length of the injured finger to fix the two sides of the injured finger, and use a splint from the fingertip to the wrist joint to fix the finger pulp. Use a bandage or other scarf or headscarf to hang the affected limb to the chest, and immediately send to the hospital for further diagnosis and treatment.

4. If the injured finger is pinched and causes bleeding in the nail bed (black nails), apply ice immediately and go to the hospital for treatment. If you are far away from a hospital or cannot be sent to a hospital in time, you can find an alcohol lamp (if you don't have one, you can use a candle or lighter) and an injection needle (if you don't have one, you can use a pin, sewing needle, or a straightened paper clip). First, disinfect the injured finger with iodine, hold the needle with tweezers or pliers at the red tip over the fire, and quickly pierce the blackened nail of the injured finger vertically. A small hole will be quickly melted in the nail. Pull out the needle immediately, and the blood accumulated between the nail and the nail bed will flow out immediately. The pain will disappear immediately or be significantly reduced, and the nail will not fall off due to necrosis due to separation from the nail bed. After the nails have basically returned to their normal color, you can apply ice.
