Answer 1

Sterilise a big needle and around the area with vodka, then use the needle to slice the skin, and push out the splinter. Use tweezers too if you have them if there is enough to grab.  A small craft knife may also work if it is a fine point blade. Sterilise everything first, and apply an anticeptic cream after.

A bowl of disinfectant water and cotton wool will help you to see what you're doing.

Answer 2

your body will naturally push it out. However if it is getting infected, get a needle or scissors. Put a flame on the needle or scissors to sterilize it. Cut the skin and pull it out. remember to wash your hands after you have removed it, because it will be covered in bacteria.
