I got a small piece of glass in my fingertip 6 weeks ago. its still there. not infected, but will hurt if i squeeze the area. what to do?

See your doc: He/she should be able to help remove any superficially located foreign body. Be careful about doing this on your own, as you might accidentally force it deeper or leave a wound that may get infected. Best of luck.
