How To Remove The Staples From The Head?

Hello, My question is two part. First I have a lot of blood in a large matt of hair from a car accident. It has not come out by washing and has now been in there for 2 weeks. How should I remove this? Also, I am over due by a week to have the staples removed from my head. Why can't I pull them out? Thank you.

First of all...there is such a thing as a medical staple remover kit. I'm sure you don't have one of those which means that you wouldn't be using the right tools for the job which means you may turn out tearing them out instead of removing them as meant to be done by a professional. Secondly, you can't see up on top of your head to know for sure you've gotten all the staples and no matter how go your sense of feel may be....you'll never be 100% all of them are out unless you have a bird's eye view of your scalp, can get the hair out of the way, and just look. You may infect the would by not using unsterilized equipment as well. For all these reasons you really should have a medical professional remove your staples.
