Molten Metal (problem)

okay i was recently screwing around at a scrap yard that my grand father owns. i was melting down items with a torch, and some of the molten liquid fell into my palm, and burned like a 4th of an inch into it an then hardend.
its not that bad because im not bleading, the hardend metal covered the damage it did and became that shape.

now how do i remove this tiny metal chunk from my arm, it was liquid so i think it attached to skin/muscle tissue.
how do i remove it without having to melt it in order for it to drip out?
or should i just leave it?

Hahahaha Ouch! Usually, I stay away from hospitals, but I'd seriously consider seeeing a doctor about that...

BTW: Can you please post a picture of the wound? I bet it's gross.

Edit: What if you pull it out yourself, it gets infected and you get gangrene. You could loose an arm.

Have you considered asking an actual medical doctor rather than a group of people who know almost nothing about medicine?

Just leave it.

Don't be stupid!

Do it to the rest of your body so your name finally actually applies to you.

(Insert bullshit here)

ha ha ha... this is hilarious.. how about you go to the doctor to remove it..

i personally would have dunked it in waters and it should have crumbled and fallen off depending on the damage i would go to the hospital for oitment and antibiotics..

Hospital.

😖mart:

I've used a torch several times. One thing I never did was get my hand UNDER the metal I was burning.

Interesting wound, considering your avatar/name.

See a doctor.

crylaugh

if it starts smelling sweet like walnuts almonds it means you got gangrene...you should see a doctor b4 it even becomes a possibility..

a week of lotion and and antibiotics is better then doing nothing and getting chunk of ur hand if the worse comes to pass.

Well, I had adamantium stuck to my bones once, I didnt have a healing factor so I had it removed.

i had hot tar spilled on my hand, my skin peeled off like a glove had this special vitamin lotion and glove i wore for a while so it wouldnt hurt when working and picking up stuff..

i even picked up hot metal i had an elmira moment it took me like 3 seconds to realize it was hot as hell and my 1st reaction was to squeeze not let go. stupid me. 😮

the grabbing hot metal didnt go to the doctor i had a giant blister the filled half my hand i kept popping it and draining it.

One time I was making out with a hot chick and my bone turned into adamantium.

I lol'd.

Well, if it starts to bond with your body's molecules, spread along your arm and some other bullshit, good luck- you're turning into this guy

If it starts to smell like weird nuts, you could lose an arm.

Do the risk/benefit ratio thing, then go see somebody who will give you more helpful advice than a link to a comicbook character.
