Question:

What do you do when a tiny piece of a splinter stays stuck deep under your skin?

The other day, I got a splinter in my finger while working out in the yard. While I was able to pry most of it out, a tiny piece of it broke off and seeped deep underneath the skin. I've tried using a needle, but it hasn't worked. It is too small for tweesers. Any ideas??


Answers:

What you were unable to remove, will be naturally pushed out by your body. You will notice the development of fluid around the splinter. After the fluid builds up, you should be able to put some pressure on this fluid and cause it to expel the splinter.

The body is amazing.....it will naturally expel things that do not belong.
