A couple months ago, I got what felt like a splinter in the tip of my index finger. Tried numerous times to get it out without apparent success as I still had some pain when pressing on something. Mid-December, I had my semi-annual dermatology appointment and the doctor took a scalpel and scraped away at it. But that did not appear to work. So every couple of days, I dug back in. Today I pulled out a 1/4-3/8" long splinter that must have gone straight in. Wow, I'm glad it's finally out.

Yesterday I got a tiny splinter in my finger. I kept putting up with it till this morning. I got my magnifying light and tweezers out and quickly found out I couldn't get it. It was tiny but hurt like a big one. Then I remembered something I saw on the web. To remove a wooden splinter, clean the area and apply wood glue. Let it dry until it is like a new layer of skin. Then peel it off and the splinter will come out with the glue. I did this with NO expectations because the splinter was so small. It worked! I can't say it would work on a big one or an embedded big one. It sure worked for me.
