To minimize pain from a finger prick, ensure the area is clean and warm to promote blood flow. Use a quick, firm motion with the lancet to minimize discomfort, and consider applying a cold pack before the prick to numb the area slightly. Additionally, using a finer gauge lancet can reduce pain. Finally, pressing gently on the site afterward can help alleviate discomfort.
