Take a needle, sterlize it ( use rubbing alcohol or a lighter).  Depending on how deep the splinter is, take twezers and try to get it out.  Or you can try a needle and get under the skin,lift the skin up and tthen try to take it out.\n\nStart by washing your hands with soap and water, then washing the affected area. If one end of the splinter is sticking out of the skin, grasp it with tweezers and gently pull it out. (Remember to pull in the opposite direction from the way the object entered the skin.) Clean the area well with soap and water, and apply a bandage.\n\n\n\nIf the object is completely embedded in the skin, you'll need to enlarge the puncture in the skin through which the splinter entered, or create a small opening to reach it, using a sterilized needle or tweezers as tools. In difficult cases, you may need to visit a doctor or nurse to have this done for you. \n\nClick on the link below for more information.\n\nHappy removing!

get a damp paper towel and run it across the tip a couple of times, that will at least help a lot

I know this sounds painful (which it is to a degree), but if you leave it alone for a couple of days, it will soon fester, and you can easily remove it with a pair of tweezers or a needle. Make sure they are sterile before you do it, though. \n\nAnother way to do it is to get a good drawing salve, like Watkins drawing salve, or bag balm. Apply it to the site, and cover with a band aid. It will help to bring it to the surface so you can easily get it out.

Hold it between your two index fingers & your two thumbs & separate your hands.\n\nNOTE: This does not work with sporks. DO NOT ATTEMPT WITH A SPORK!!!! You will set off a dangerous chain of events.

Even easier way... go down to your local tobaccoist, and buy the actual blunt wrap instead.  Much less messy than hollowing out a cigar.  Plus, you can pick from a ton of flavors.  Blunts are the best... they burn well and are HIGHly effective.  If you don't have a tabaccoist or paraphenelia shop where you're from, click on the link below and order them online.  The second link shows a pretty good step by step technique with images.  The third link is a really good how to guide.\nHave fun!\nCheers!

try using a little ambesol or oragel to numb the area then yank that baby out. Do it fast like a band-aid

Call a friend or a neighbor to help you!\nIce the area, once it is numb you can squeeze it out.  If you don't  you could use the tweezers and  a sterile needle!  Ice it frequently to keep it numb till you get it out!\nOne last thing you might want to try if you do not like the other methods is;  \nPore a good amount of glue, "Not" supper glue, something like Elmer's glue on the area, wait till it is completely dry, then peel it upwards.\nGood Luck!

Nothing - it`ll work it`s way out by itself.The body is good at expelling foreign bodies from under the skin.The only time you need to remove a spelter/splinter is if the area immediately around it becomes infected.

it depends on your track line but doesnt really matter all you need to do is file it down.  if its just a little use an emry board if its a lot use a drimmel ( saves time)\n\nexacto works but you can go to deep or leave a cut which will bother your hand if its bad enough.  better safe then sorry.

Soak the effected part in hot water, it loosens the skin, then use sterile tweezers to remove them, use alcohol to clean the tweezers and open cuts left behind from tweezing, sometimes if a splinter is really deep it will eventually work its way to the skin surface where you can easily remove it. It's best to remove them, infections can occur.

Use emery board to file down middle of nail to take pressure off sides. Soak in hot salt water. If you can,\ntry to put a tiny bit of cotton under that corner-with nail file carefully! little bit of red is not infected-If you do this today you can save Dr.bill! Soak-Cotton under nail will help a lot. All of this will!
