Thank you to all of those wonderful suggestions! I got the splinter out by slowly clipping away skin with nail clippers and then pulling it out once i went down far enough. Thanks to all who helped! :)


Answers:

Just answered this in another question. LOL I'll just copy and paste onto here.

I know it sounds crazy, but try making a paste out of baking soda and water and put it over the splinter. Leave it on around 10 min. or so. It will draw the splinter closer to the surface and make it much easier to get it out with the needle. My grandma told me about this after I'd spent an hour trying to dig a splinter out of the bottom of my sons foot. We tried it and within 2 minutes I had the thing out. Good luck!!
