How To Remove A Splinter On The Foot?
I thought I had a splinter on the bottom of my foot just right below my big toe on the ball. I got an exacto knife and tweezers to investigate. Needless to say, I pulled out not a splinter, but a half inch long coarse black hair. Pain is gone but WTF!!! Any takers?

Hello,
Consult a general surgeon and get evaluated. If there are any retained bits of tissue or foreign objects, it has to be explored.
