While in between doing things, you suddenly hit something to your hand. You stop & notice it, check a while to see if its badly hurt & soothe it a little & carry on.
Steadily but surely over the days, you start noticing a pain in the hand at where it hurt ...& the pain has begun to reflect at surrounding places too.
You sit to inspect & find out; there visible inside the skin is a fine chaff of something you may have acquired while working.
It is so embedded by then that you cannot remove it & yet it is visible from the upper skin.
That it pains & constantly makes itself felt totally takes your concentration off from everything else.
You keep looking helplessly & try to do something about it, just don't know what to exactly..& how to precisely.
It may eventually dissolve in the skin & you'll become immune to it or you may have to take a decision on getting it removed through a drastic type measure, which is tearing open the skin & removing it.
Either ways very painful to undergo. Either ways there will be a scar.
What will you choose?
