What is the best way to get a splinter that is deep under the skin in the ball of my foot out. painful to walk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Would avoid: "Bathroom surgery". If the credit card trick - scrape against the splinter didn't work - I would not dig for it. The simplest option is to see a podiatrist. P.S. When was your last tetanus shot? Take care.
