Which fingers should be used for dermal puncture to obtain capillary blood specimens?
For dermal puncture to obtain capillary blood specimens, the recommended fingers are typically the middle or ring finger of the non-dominant hand. These fingers have adequate blood supply and are less likely to be calloused compared to the index finger. The puncture should be made on the side of the fingertip to minimize discomfort and maximize blood flow. In infants, the heel is often used for this procedure.
Why should the first drop of blood be wiped during a dermal puncture?
The first drop of blood should be wiped away during a dermal puncture to remove any potential contaminants from the skin surface, such as tissue fluid, dirt, or debris. This helps ensure that the sample collected is representative of the blood and not influenced by external factors. Additionally, wiping away the first drop can help minimize the risk of hemolysis or skewed results caused by interstitial fluid.

How long must you wait to go sunless tanning after recieving a dermal piercing?
Dermal piercings are single point piercings and are not at all like normal piercings that have an entry and exit point so more care needs to be used in looking after them in the early healing stages. The dermal will discharge just like a normal piercing this needs to be rinsed away daily, subjecting the dermal to tanning beds, tanning oils and even spray tanner is not a good idea for the first few weeks post piercing. The coatings on the skin (spray tanner and tanning oils) should never be allowed to get into the piercing, it's a puncture wound, and will react negatively to these solutions and oils. Ultra violet light doesn't help the healing process and can create a hot spot at the piercing sight damaging the newly pierced tissue. It can take up to three months for the body to heal a dermal anchor, so covering it with a round band-aid while using a tanning booth or bed is a good idea.
