glass in finger need some help

<< < (3/5) > >>

No way I would take a chance of it healing over with a piece of glass in it.
When it's fresh and still bleeding is the best time to fiddle with it and see if you can feel the glass still poking you or not. 

jareddchazen:
"Growing out" will only work if it's still in the upper layers of skin, common with wood slivers. If it bled a lot, it's well beyond that point.

bjrogg:
I usually tease it out with a sewing needle.

Pat B:
Try using the tip of your tongue to feel for the glass shard. I do this with splinters, wood and metal that I can't see but know they are there.

Russ:
im trying to open it up now.
