So I think my son has a splinter and it’s so tiny it’s impossible to grab with my tweezers. Any advice? Or just leave it? 😭

Question

Answer

Hmm. Have you tried like super thin tipped tweezers? My daughter had a gnarly splinter. I got it pretty easily with a good pair of tweezers! I hate it when these things happen though. 😩

Answer

Is it bothering him?   If no, let it work it’s way out.  If it is, you can try removing it with tape.  Cover it with tape then pull the tape in the opposite direction it went in.

Answer

You could try a drawing salve like prid on it.  I used it on my face the other day cause I ran into a wooden tomato stick. 
Got rid of my splinters.  Heck I even used it to get rid of a staff infection on my chickens foot lol.

Answer

You can try to see if it comes out after a bath for example. Soaking the area in warm water should help. Hopefully it’s not bothering him!

Answer

A saw a thing where you cut the tip off a medicine syringe and then put it on top and pull back to get it out idk if it works

Answer

Update: it doesn’t seem to be hurting him when I squeeze his toe. I can barely even see it at all. My husband thinks it’s a scratch. If it’s still there the next few days I’ll try the syringe trick or super thin tweezers which I need to buy because mine are dull! Thanks ladies
