Your skin will push: Generally your skin grows up so as long as the shards are just in the uppermost layers of the epidermis, usually the new skin that comes in will push them out. Deeper tissues and the dermis, your body may just absorb it into the layer and it will become a firm not. Generally does not travel deeper into skin so you should be safe from it getting internal.
