    Do you mean splinter? I would suggest a very thin pair of tweezers. That's what I do when I get splinters. You just have to be careful you don't push the splinter farther into the skin.

    Make sure area is very clean and dry.Place heavy duty sticky tape securely on area.Slowly , peel tape back... Repeat if, necessary.Sometimes , this works.
