I have tiny glass particles in my finger from my cell phone and not sure who to see to get them removed?

Skin particles: These can be evaluated by an emergency room physician or by a surgeon. Sometimes, after assessment, such particles are treated only with warm salt water soaks and nature slowly excretes them.
