If it is small and on the surface then you can put a piece of tape on it. Jerk the tape away and the glass will come with it. This works for cactus too.
If it is large and embedded under the skin, you may have to go to a doctor to have it taken out.
Good luck. I know how painful this can be.

Go to a doctor and don't walk on it, depending on how big the picece of glass is I don't think tweezer won't work, but you could try scissors (as tweezers not to cut). The same thing happened to me when i was seven, I step on a piece of glass and didn't tell anybody about it. Well after a couple of weeks my mom noticed that I was hopping and limping everywhere so I told her. We went to the hospital the next day to find it was infected and the glass shoved its way down passed my bone. It was not fun getting it out but it was so worth it.

try squeezing it like a pimple, to pop it out. it might be painful but that will work. you need to put some alcohol on it to make sure u dont get an infection. if the tweezers didnt work, then u might wanna dig the tweezers in and try diging it under the glass to pop it out again that might be painful but will work as well. good luck!

Try running a fine needle over the area with its sharp tip pointing towards your flesh, but not digging in till you bleed. This might help draw the tiny glass shard out.

You might want to cut the skin surrounding it and remove the glass but that is extremely messy. If you don't want it to hurt so bad, go to your doctor and have him/her extract it.
