Wash area with: Warm water and soap. Dry. Dry to flip out with an object with a straight edge. No bathroom surgery on yourself. If not successful, consider seeing your podiatrist or medical provider.

See podiatrist: A splinter can cause a foreign body reaction that could lead to an infection. See a local doctor if you can not remove it
