Hello,
* As per my surgical experience, the stuck pebble with covered skin overlying needs a surgical intervention of incision under local anesthesia and retrieval of the foreign body to avoid secondary bacterial infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
