What to do about a pellet inside my hand?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A pellet in the hand: From a pellet gun typically is removed. Probing a wound in the hand especially the palm without a good knowledge of anatomy can be harmful. Seek care form a hand surgeon or someone who does this all the time. Many chroncally "stuck" foreigh bodies that are not symtpomatic may be walled off and not harmful and even unntiiced but acutely it is best to have it out an cleaned out to avoid issues.
