Answer 3

This is for wood splinters only:

Use a sterile needle and very gently prick the area at the most visible end of the splinter.  Then use a pair of tweezers to extract the splinter, doing this slowly and carefully.  Clean the wound with an antiseptic and stick a plaster on if necessary.

For a metal splinter go to casualty, as in some cases you may need a Tetanus shot.

Answer 4

Use some tweezers and a safety pin. Burn the end of the safety pin to sterilize it and use the safety pin to pick the skin where the splinter is and alternate with the tweezers... Hopefully that works! It works for me.

Answer 5

TWEEZERS!!

Answer 6

Answer 7

I'm afraid you have to break the skin with a needle otherwise it can swell up and become painful. Using nail clippers works too as it breaks the skin and grabs the splinter.

Answer 8

get a needle n pick away at the skin with it n then squeeze the needle toawrds the top n keep doing this until it partly comes out the skin and then try and grab it with tweezers, if u dont have tweezers keep squeezing around it and push it out with the needle or grab onto it with ur nails. if u cant get it out go see ur doctor =] good luck

Answer 9

soak your hand in warm water, then pull it out with tweezers.

Answer 10

Use a sterilized needle and slowly work your way to it and then attempt to pull/drag it out this way.  Then do a regular first-aid clean up of the area and it will heal up.

Answer 11

Tweezers don't do it unless there's a bit sticking out.

Use a small needle to ease away enough skin to get the tweezers on it!
