Something a friend recommended.
Hi so I am new but I had severe sh problems especially with sharp objects and I had a friend recommend candle wax. It actually works for me. You just pour it wherever you would harm and it leaves a burning or stinging sensation and its less harmful too. I know it's not the best recommendation but it worked for me and I use any soy wax based candle but if I need a little extra that day I will use a parifin wax candle. Use something cool such as a rock or I use a old credit card I put in the freezer to remove it and it's satisfying.
