A member asked:
I think there may be a fragment of glass in my finger but can't see it is it harmful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends entirely: on size of glass fragment and how deeply it is imbedded. If you cannot see it, it is either too small or too deep. It is best to show it to a doctor, especially if you have any pain or redness surrounding the area.
