A member asked:

I cut my leg open in work today from a broken sharp tile it's only small but what would happen if i had some tile chipping stuck in the cut?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If so, that chip: ...must be removed. Like a splinter, it's a non-sterile foreign body. You could get an infection if it's not removed. Fortunately, unless it's really tiny, it should show up on an x-ray.
