Some skin on my palm got pinched in a stapler as I tried to push the carriage in. Now theres like a small bump with blood filled in it. It hurts a bit, but will it go away by itself or do I need to take measures into my own hands?

Pop it. I don't know the name for it but I've had em before. I tried both methods and popping it and letting the blood ooze out works best.

Yes, but it involves far too much brain excercise.

*sigh* when you're right, you're right.

you can either pop it or just let it dry up and clot and it'll eventually just flake off... not a big deal

I gave myself a really bad one once, and the blood pocket got infected and started to swell really bad. When I popped it it smelled disgusting.

Just thought I would share.
