How to Remove a Ring That's Stuck on a Finger
Maybe that ring's been on your finger for a mighty long time. Or perhaps the hot
weather
has caused your fingers to swell. Here's how to ease a ring off.
Things You'll Need:
Hand lotion, dishwashing liquid or olive oil
Step
1
Soak your hand in ice-cold water if it is swollen. Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the swelling to recede.
Step
2
Apply lubricant around the ring and up the length of your finger. Hand lotion, dishwashing liquid or
olive
oil
will do the trick.
Step
3
Twist the ring as you slowly work it up and over the knuckle. You may need to apply some force to get it over the first knuckle. Make sure to twist, not tug.
Step
4
If the ring still won't budge, visit a doctor to have it removed.
Tips & Warnings
If you're experiencing swelling from an injury, it is important to remove any rings before the swelling worsens, because the rings might cut off the finger's blood supply.
