Splinter!

Monkey_NutsMonkey_Nuts
in Toddler
My DD has got a splinter in the palm of her hand from crawling around on the decking.



What do I do?? Pick it with a sterile needle? Go to Dr? Leave it?



Help!



Thanks

    I think try and get it out if she'll let you. If not and it isn't bothering her then leave it will just grow out in it's own time. x

    If you cant get it out yourself might be worth a call to dr; my bro had one and left it without telling anyone and his skin grew over it and it got infected! They had to remove it for him. So if you do leave it then just keep an eye on it. x

    Thanks - panic over, I managed to get it out after her bath.



    I feel so naive about stuff like this!
