| it's probably pretty hard, but since I don't have any college-level education in the medical field, I'm not really sure |

@commander
actually, using butter will insulate it and cause it to burn even more
use a saw to either take it off or open up the toaster
@chosent an infected... pumps?
@game yeah I just confirmed it's possible but really hard and expensive
also trying robox+ right now, wonder how my signature will look

remove the hairbrush
clean with a wet paper towel
don't disturb it, it'll heal (at least to the point where you can use face cleaner again) in a couple days |

@zygo milk
ha.
@chosent
fingernails are adhered to the skin underneath, so it'll hurt a lot and bleed a lot because you'll peel off skin
i know that part from experience (except it was my toe) |

let's say i stubbed my toe on a table leg and while hopping on one foot and yelping in pain i step on a lego with my other foot and lose balance and fall flat on my back on the kitchen floor
what would a person do after this unfortunate series of events
also if a put a toothpick in between my toe and skin and kick a wall what would happen and how serious would in injury be?
thanks doc |

you'll likely injure your back if you hit your coccyx, it can result in a concussion (yes that is possible, it's very interesting - when the coccyx gets hit, it shakes the spine, and since the spine is attached to the brain, a hard enough impact can cause a concussion)
you'll also be bleeding from the foot because of the lego your head will probably be bleeding because when you fall, your head would probably hit the ground pretty hard
the toothpick, assuming it didn't break and moved straight, would cause some bleeding because toothpicks are nice and small, you could probably just throw some gauze on it and wrap it with medical tape, therefore closing the wound |

yeah the coccyx is just the fancy word for the tailbone
there was a very amusing coccyx scene based on precisely what just happened in some Psych episode |

@ascending continue using antacids, and (assuming you/your parents/whatever have the money/insurance to do so) consult your doctor
usually acid reflux can be treated
