A member asked:
My daughter has something under her skin; maybe an old splinter; any examination needed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only if painful: Usually the body will just absorb the splinter although it may take several months. However, if it hurts or is showing signs of infection (redness, pus), she should be seen.
