Bringing a splinter to surface
How do you PAINLESSLY bring a deeply embedded splinter to the surface of the skin so you can pluck it out with tweezers? It's too deep to fish out with a tweezer just yet. Thanks!

Is the person bleeding? If not and it’s not really causing pain, I’d leave it alone. Believe it not, the body rejects it and pushes it out little by little on its own.

No blood, just blood-curdling cries of discomfort/pain lol

I usually would cut the skin around it with a cuticle cutter so i can get to the splinter and then have DH push from behind it while i grab it with the tweezers.
there is some pain, but it's for like two minutes and then we're good.

agree with this, if not use a sewing needle after soaking in warm water, the needle can help move it then use tweezers

My mom used hydrogen peroxide for everything, I think she poured over splinter and waited until it bubbled. I think it brings splinter to top.
