How to Remove a Splinter Without Tweezers, Squeezing, or Pain

Wash your hands.
Irrigate the affected area with a liquid antiseptic such as Betadine, or just wash the affected area.
Make a paste using water and about 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda.
Put this paste on a bandage and apply the bandage to the affected area.
After 24 hours, remove the bandage and rinse the area. The splinter will be sticking out of the skin and you or the child will be able to remove it easily.
for deeper splinters which you have you will need to repeat the steps more than once

You can buy a little 'splinter puller' from a pharmacist that is a plastic holder about the size of a thin pencil, with a sterile needle at either end, One end is blade shaped, and the other end is hook shaped, so that you can probe under the splinter to hook it out. If the splinter is deep, there is no way to avoid it hurting a bit; but it is quite effective.

Failing that, ask a pharmacist for some 'drawing ointment', that will soften the flesh around the splinter, and 'draw' it out. The idea is that you put the ointment on your finger, and bandage it for a few days; and it will draw the splinter to the surface.

I just had very deep splinter and I sat there and dug it out with a needle (which I cleaned with alcohol first). You may not be able to get the whole thing out, in which case you could give it a day or two to work itself out (your body is good at this!).

If you cannot remove it within a couple days, or if you begin to show signs of infection, you will have to go in to have a doctor help you out, and to deal with the infection (if it has developed).

Whatever you do, don't forget about it. I have a friend who is a carpenter who thought "it's just another sliver". To make a long story short he let it go for about 5-6 days and ended up with gangrene and nearly had to have his finger amputated.

So don't do that! :)

Answer 5

Get a fairly large plaster, remove the medicated dressing leaving just the plaster then wrap it around your finger, it will help draw the splinter out of your finger give it a couple of days the remove the plaster and the end of the splinter should be visible

Answer 6

put some neosporin and a band aid on it for today and tonight, when you take it off tommorow it will have softnened the skin all around it, get a magnifying glass, and a sharp needle or a scalpel with a 15 blade if you can get one, then get someone else with a steady hand to dig it out.
you can put some local anesthetic cream on it first to numb it.
if all else fails you will have to go to the doc and have an l/a then they will get it out for you.
i love getting splinters out where do you live lol

Answer 7

soak it in some soapy warm water. It sounds painful so i don't know how else to help you just keep trying to pull out with tweezers if you have peroixde pour some of that over your finger then put some ointment on it cover it up with a bandaide

Answer 8

You can try wrapping some tape around your finger for a few hours... When you pull it off it might pull out the sliver...

Mostly though I use a sterilized needle and go in after it.

Answer 9

dude it's probs pine wood that u got in there and that's really bad coz it can fester so u need like a sewing neeple and just keep prying anf tearing away at the skin (not stupidly but like one step at a time) also try boil save(also known as itchithemol...its king of vegimite looking) and put that on with a bandaid round it then try with the needle in the morning
