Don't: If this is plain old fiberglass and it was introduced into the skin by direct contact do not attempt to remove it. It will remove itself with a few days.

May need medical tx.: Option 1: add 1 cup epsom salt to boiling water. Add mix to warm bath & soak affected area x 30 min or longer. Rinse w cool water. Option 2: gently apply duct tape to affected area & then quickly rip off. Don't push don't too firmly because the glass fibers may embed deeper in your skin. Note: may remove hair. If fiberglass is too deep you can see if foreign body rxn will extrude it or get med tx.
