18 mo old has wood splinter in his toe. leave it be or try to get it out? i don't want it to get infected (obviously!)

Wood splinter: Put the feet on little like warm water for like 10 min and it will make skin soft and splinter would come out .

Wood you believe?: Because of the relatively small size of the toe at this age, removing the splinter is not as difficult as expected. Having said that, I much prefer that the splinter work it's self out. Less traumatic experience for both patient and parent. Depending on the many possible circumstances, soaking repeatedly tends to make self extraction easier. Many times a mild cellulitis also delivers the splinter.
