There are a few different methods you can use to remove a splinter. You can pick the best method depending on:

No matter which method you choose, it’s important that you first wash your hands and the affected area with warm, soapy water. This helps prevent infection, as a splinter is technically an open wound.

在开始尝试删除它之前，请务必仔细检查分裂。观察碎屑如何进入您的皮肤，进展的方向以及分裂的任何部分是否仍在皮肤外突出。

Soaking the affected area in warm water before trying to remove the splinter may help soften your skin and make splinter removal easier.

良好的照明和放大玻璃将帮助您更好地看到碎片。

Never try to pinch or squeeze a splinter out. This it could cause the splinter to break into smaller pieces and make it more difficult to remove.

  • tweezers
  • rubbing alcohol and cotton ball

用镊子去除分裂：

  1. 通过用棉球涂抹酒精来消毒镊子。
  2. Use the tweezers to grab the part of the splinter that’s sticking out.
  3. 将碎屑从迈出的同一方向拉出。

Method 2: Small needle and tweezers

当整个碎屑都在您的皮肤下时，此方法最适合当您的皮肤下。

Method 3: Tape

This method is best for tiny splinters or plant stickers that protrude from your skin.

You’ll need the following tools:

  3. Once the splinter sticks to the tape, gently pull the tape from your skin. The splinter should be removed along with the tape.
  4. Repeat if necessary.

Gently dry the wound, and cover it with a bandage.

  • large
  • 深的
  • 在您的眼睛中或附近

You should also see your doctor if you suspect your wound has become infected. Signs of infection may include:

  • redness or discoloration
  • swelling
  • 过度疼痛
  • 触摸的区域温暖
  • pus
