The removal of very fine cactus spines from the skin is particularly distressing for the pediatric patient. We describe two typical patients and a study in experimental animals comparing the effectiveness of several previously described methods for removal. The most effective method involved using tweezers to remove clumps of spines followed by a thin layer of glue covered with gauze, which was allowed to dry and then peeled off to remove individual spines. Attempts to use adhesive tape or a thin layer of a commercial facial mask to aid in removal of the spines produced more retention and inflammation three days after removal than no treatment.
从皮肤上拔除非常细小的仙人掌刺对儿科患者来说格外痛苦。我们描述了两名典型患者，并在实验动物中进行了一项研究，比较了几种先前描述的去除方法的有效性。最有效的方法是先用镊子拔除成簇的刺，然后在上面覆盖一层薄胶水，再盖上纱布，等胶水干燥后揭下，从而去除单个的刺。与不进行处理相比，尝试使用胶带或一层薄的商用面膜来辅助去除刺，在去除三天后会导致更多的刺残留和炎症。
