A member asked:
I have a glass sliver in my foot. is it safe to soak my foot in epsom salt? does ichthammol actually work to draw the sliver out? never used before.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a doctor: iccthymol is good for drawing the stuff out of boils. It works mostly on liquid things. Glass has a way of moving around. You do not want to wait with this. It could go deeper into your foot.
