Duct tape. Gently rub duct tape over the needles, and it will pull most out. Get the rest with tweezers, and a magnifying glass.

There are lots of very fine, almost microscopic needles that cause the most pain. These can best be taken out with a pairt of tweezers. For the others, you can use a neelde to work them out as some cacti have barbed ends that keep the needles in. Applying warm compresses can help soften the needles.
So sorry.

Some cactus have very fine almost hair like needles in them, if this is the kind he got in his hand duct tape will pull them out. I work at a garden center and I have had to do this a lot.

Take a needle, then find where the thorns broke, insert the tip of the needle beneath the skin but not too deep else blood will comeout. Then gentlely push out the thorns.
