Splinter left a bump on my finger

Question

i had a splinter in my finger for little over a week. i got it out but it left a bump. is this just from having it in there and it just has to heal or is there more in there?

Answer 1

If you had it in there for over a week, it may have started to develop an infection. You may have some fluid in there that can be released by making a small puncture with a small needle, sterilized first, then sqeeze it out. Put some Neosporin on it and cover with a band-aid for a day or two. Should be just fine. Best to you young lady.

Answer 2

its fine just let it heal
