Any tips on getting splinters out. My daughter has one in her pinky. The school nurse just called. She said she broke most of it off trying to get it out so now there's a piece still imbedded in her skin 🙄
Your Worst Nightmare 😘·
Tweezers u have to get the top piece of skin away to dig it out

Tweezers and push the end with your nail to push it forward.

@kush_queen420 @scream.queen ...I'm panicking. She HATES tweezers. I'm sure she was freaking out at the nurse and that was part of the problem. I'm going to try an Epsom salt soak.

Put some Neosporin on it and wrap for a little bit with a bandaid and let the cream work itself in. Then have her wash her hands in really warm water and loosen it up and try to distract her any way you can and it should come right out with tweezers then. Without a fight hopefully

Draw out salve. It’s this foul smelling black stuff that you can buy. Put a dab of it on the splinter and cover with bandaid. It will help it work it’s way out

@massgirl, no I don’t think so. I haven’t used it since I was a kid with a splinter but I don’t recall burning.

okay thank you. I've got baking soda on it right now but I'll try that if the baking soda doesn't work

cool good luck! If you do use it make sure you used a decent bandage because it can stain and smells kinda like tar. Helpful for ingrown hairs too

I read this online once so idk if it’s true or not because obviously you can’t believe everything you see online. But supposedly if you put the inside of an egg shell on the splinter it will help the splinter come up.
