Hi everyone!!! I have splinters in my hands and they are barely visible. how do i get them out??need help fast

Answer 1

Ouch. Wash your hands with a antibacterial soap. Then use
a clean needle, sterile is almost imposible when doing it yourself especially at home, to open the entrance area just slightly. Then squeeze the area so that enough of the splinter is exposed to grasp with a tweezer. Then wash with soap again and DO NOT cover with anything, you want to give the wound a chance to drain if it becomes infected.
If you can not do it in less than a minute let it be. You will risk more pain and damage to your affected area. Splinters usually break down in a few weeks but should stop bothering you in a day or two.
In any case look out for increasing swelling, increasing redness, puss, fevers or red streaks that is a sign of infection. You should also get a tetnus shot if you have not had one in the past five years.

Answer 2

Are they barely visible because they are so deeply in there, or because they're really fine? Either way, try a sharp blade. A razor is ideal, so long as it's not dull (time to pull out a new one) Pull it gently across the skin. The edge can catch the splinter and pull it out. Don't cut yourself. That's not the idea.

Needles and Scotch tape help, too. If you need to do some digging, be sure everything is clean and you put on some neosporin.

Answer 3

if you can see which way they have gone in .put the sticky part of a plaster on by going from the buried piece to the piece thats showing.then shove plaster up from bottom till you feel the splinter and quickly pull plaster of.

Answer 4

Get a sewing needle, put it over a flame on the stove for a few seconds to sterilize it and then use the needle to dig them out.
