  • If it doesn't hurt, let the splinter work its way out over a few days.
  • If it does hurt, touch the area gently with sticky tape and pull away carefully. If this doesn't work, try hair removal wax.

  • Clean a small needle and tweezers with alcohol.
  • If you can see the end of the splinter, grip it with the tweezers and gently pull out the entire splinter.
  • If none of the splinter is sticking out, follow the path of the splinter with the needle. Open the skin and expose enough of the splinter to remove it with tweezers.
  • If you have trouble seeing the splinter, use stronger lighting and a magnifying glass.
  • Clean wound area again. Apply a bandage and antibiotic ointment.

See a health care provider if:
  • You can't remove the entire splinter.
  • The splinter is deep in the skin or the wound is bleeding heavily.
  • The splinter is under a fingernail or toenail. The health care provider may need to cut a notch in the nail to remove the splinter.
