What's the best way to remove a splinter on your right hand?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Left hand: Most splinters can be removed with a tweezer. And if it is in the right hand, use your left hand. Sometimes this may require the assistance of a friend and sometimes a magnifying lens like a reading eyeglass can help.
