Foreign Body in Skin: Unless there is a sign of infection you should just wait. Skin has a way of pushing out unwanted foreign material.

Removing fiberglass: From skin is tricky. I've had fiberglass in my skin, so i know it's miserable. 1 method: add 1 cup epsom salt into boiling water. Add this mix to warm bath & soak affected area x 30 min or longer. Rinse w cool water. Method #2: gently apply duct tape to affected area & then quickly rip off. Don't push don't too firmly because the glass fibers may embed deeper in your skin. Note: may remove hair.

Fiberglass removal: Take cold shower for several minutes to close pores then a very warm-not hot shower to flush out fiberglass particles. Can also try epsom salts in warm water. Finally duct tape--don't push on hard as that will push glass particles in--also when you pull it off fast you may lose hair follicles as well. No one thing works all the time but try these 3.
