A member asked:
Ive got a small splinter stuck on back of my head and can't get it out, does the body remove it by itself, and what could happen if it does not?

You may get an infxn: While your body can remove a splinter, we typically like to remove them as they may contain foreign material or contamination that could also cause an infection. I would recommend that you see a health care provider in person to assess.
