Hi:

To remove any kind of splinter this is what my mom did for her daughters and now what I do for my boys:

Use tweezers to grab the splinter.

Place the tip of a needle in a flame to kill the germs.

Use the COOLED pin to remove skin covering the splinter.

I use tweezers to get it out, but Mon always used the pin and then the tweezers.

Wash the area,dry it and apply antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin (sp?).

Put a bandaid on it if you need to.

Mom always said if you can leave a cut, scrape, etc open to the air, then it will heal faster.

Be safe and be well
