what happens if you leave a piece of glass inside your foot?

Answer 1

It will get infected and hurt really bad and you might have to get your foot cut off

Answer 2

Unlike nails made of iron, it won’t get rust or degrade into your flesh! Glass piece be a glass piece for years! A glass piece inside your foot would move either the way out or inside your bones. Normally a glass pieces left in would make their way out! But it’s a bit risky! When it moves inside it may form irritations on bones and make it decay to make its way into it! So better treat it with a doc! The only plus you have is, Glasses won’t decay as iron! But, it won’t guarantee that you are safe! Better take treatment!

Answer 3

It will eventually infect a little bit to a lot and try to reject the glass on its own. But your foot will probably not be able to do so on its own without your help. The area will become very red and sore.

You will have to take it out. Might as well do it now.

feaster , infection, pain, gangreen , lost of that area if the glass does not cut it's way out on it's own, I was in aa car crash back in 1983 and I cut open near my left eye the dotors thought that I was going to lose an eye but the eye was ok just skin hair line to the eye was gashes open by the grace of god the doctor stitched it up with out hitting my eye ball with the neddle. But I still had glass from the windshield in my forehead or above my right eye enbeted in my top of my eye socket on the out side and over a month and a half it cut itself out and one night I found blood all over the pillow I freeked!! but it was a hunk of glass that fell out and it healed up like my other eye and socket no difference

Answer 5

how big of piece are we talking about? my dad had a splinter in the bottom of his foot and it worked its way up through his foot and festered into a cyst on the top of his foot. I wouldn't recommend leaving it in there, flush it out with water, and use a tweezer. Or, go see your doctor to get it cleaned out.

Answer 6

The skin will scar but heal.... then the body will attack the glass and there will be large amounts of puss... depending on the size of the glass... and it will most definitely get infected and there is that slight chance if you leave it long enough that you might get gang green...

Answer 7

Your DNA will absorb the properties of glass and you will become GLASS GIRL!!!! The greatest superheroine the world has ever known! Fighting the forces of evil, a glinting, transparent force for truth and justice!

Answer 8

Visit doctor, get operated and remove the glass piece. It hurts, and not good at all.

Answer 9

If it is inside and covered over with skin, sometimes it will work its way out. Rarely, it can start to move through the body and lodge somewhere else. Check with your doctor.

Answer 10

It'll hurt like heck until your foot grows scar tissue around it, then you probably won't feel it anymore (although you might still sense pain there from time to time, esp. if it's a lot of broken pieces).
