Splinter stuck in foot?!


Question: Splinter stuck in foot!?
I have a fair sized splinter stuck in my foot - I don't have any access to a needle, and there is hardly anything to grab on to and pull it out!. I want to try glue, but I'm not sure it'll work!.
Any suggestions!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Do you have a pair of tweezers!? Those work well!. If most of the splinter is under your skin, soak your foot in warm water for 5-10 minutes!. It will soften the skin around the splinter and it will probably start to work its way out of your foot, so there will be more for you to get a grip on with the tweezers!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

a few years ago i got splinter stuck in my thumb!.!.!.!. i went to the doctor!.!.!. and they couldnt find it!.!.!.anyway my thumb healed with a callous but still hurt terribly!.!.!.and when i would pick the callous off!.!. there was this tiny hole under it that would never close!.!.!.then the callous would eventually grow back again!. anyway i was referred to a hand surgeon!. He decided to cut the callous out!. He didnt plan on finding anything!.!. but once he cut it open we found a huge splinter that was stuck in sideways!. so it would have been impossible to get out on my own because of the angle of it and how deep it was!.
i can even remember a time i got a huge piece of glass stuck in the top of my foot after a huge glass dish fell on it!.!.!. anyway!.!. i didnt even know it was in there until it weasled its way out at least year later while i was in the tub!. Go figure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

this always works!. lay a peice of raw bacon( i know its weird) my dad was a cabinet maker and got them all the time!. leave it on for like ten min!. the splinter should be closer to skin surface to grab without much painWww@Answer-Health@Com
