Wood will fester, metal might stay. I drove a splinter through my finger once when it was cold, didn't feel it. Saw it when I came in, dig down and pulled it while the finger was still cold. Longest splinter I've ever pulled, but not the biggest...sadly.
Soaking it in warm water will help on my the digging by softening the region. The icing helps, as I learned the hard way!
HAH! I soaked it again tonight, and used a sharp knife to open the skin some. I can't even see the splinter, I can just feel it. This was really long as well and I pulled part of it out but it broke off. I think I might try the onion in a sock next.
With the sharp triangular point it will pull slivers if there is any wood poking out.
👍🤠💗🙏😁🤕
Sadly, the part sticking out broke off from the part deeply embedded. I will likely die now. 😂
No, it will fester and erupt; which will drive out the foreign body. Or, you can dig it out with a sharp blade....
😭🤮👎😳🤕
I've tried all these things. I read that if I can't get it out, my body will encapsulate it and then it will be permanent. HAHA! 😞

Hi just don't use comfrey on it, it will skin over....
Wish you were local, I'd get it out for you!
