After i stapled myself, there is a painful lump at the site of the injury. what should i do ?

Treat the infection: a staple can introduce germs that can cause an infection. You might try hot compresses using a green tea bag, but if it continues or you see red streaks leading towards your body, see a practitioner who can treat the infection.
