better than tweezers:Just pour a drop of Elmer's Glue-All over the splinter, let dry, and peel the dried glue off the skin. The splinter sticks to the dried glue. :Dwarren0728 said:i've got a load of laundry in right now and have been trying (unsuccesfully) to get a splinter out of my daughters foot (it is below the skin and going straight in...not horizontally)....gonna go get some smaller tweasers at the pharmacy and try again... :confused:

you don't think it wil it will work? in other words you haven't tried it:confused: if you can see it. it should otherwise guess sawbones is in order:(warren0728 said:yep...it's below the skin and all you can see is the top (just a little dot) so i don't think the glue trick will work either....we have tried everything....just bought special tweezers, magnifying glass, hydrogen peroxide (to try and bubble it loose), etc. and i still couldn't get it out....i think we are going to have to wait till the body starts pushing it out on its own....that has been recommended by a couple of people....if that doesn't work i guess a trip to the doc will be in order....joy.... :thwap:

not sure which method you are referring to....i did not try the glue because the splinter is way below the skin level and just the "head" (the size of a pin) is showing....it looks better today....i think it is working its way out and i don't think it is very long....player said:you don't think it wil it will work? in other words you haven't tried it:confused: if you can see it. it should otherwise guess sawbones is in order:(
someone years ago said Mercurochrome works too but try and find any.
