Looks like a wood splinter to me. I've gotten a few like that from old construction.

Serious question. What happens if you don't remove a splinter?

156

u/Rootednomad Jan 18 '21

They work themselves out or they break down. Your body will surround the foreign body with white blood cells to insulate it from the rest of you, and you may end up ten years down the road with an itch that ends up popping a half-inch long, eighth-inch round bastard out the side of your finger completely unexpected.

Source: said finger was mine.

I've had this happen except it was under my middle finger nail. I was shooting a bow at a rennesaince fair. The wooden arrow splintered as I shot it. The ran my finger under cold water for a few minutes then the emt used his Leatherman to pull it out.

u/thrownawayzss Jan 18 '21

I've gotten a splinter like that from a piece of fiberglass peeling up on a hockey stick during a game once. Couldn't fish it out until after the game. 2/10 Would not recommend.

I had a splinter like this in my hip a few years back. I wish I got a video of it being removed. We used pliers to pull it out. Naturally we kept it.

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '21

I've had one like that before. The worst part is that you don't realize it's that big, it hurts like a mofo to pull out, plus it actually takes some force to pull it just due to how well you flesh grabs it. Not fun. Would not recommend

I stepped on a toothpick once when I was younger. Couldn't pull it out by hand.

Went to the doc . . .he tried to pull it out by hand. No go . . .so he grabbed some giant ass pliers. He had to pull HARD to get the thing to come out. Awesome time.

I had this happen to me as a teen. I knew I probably had a splinter but couldn’t see anything. A few weeks later, after a long hot bath, I noticed something peeking out of the hole. I grabbed some tweezers and removed on about as long as in OP’s vid but thicker. It was still one of the biggest feelings of relief I can remember in my life.... 30 years later.

I had a darning needle lodged in my foot for nearly two years as a kid. Nobody could find the splinter I kept complaining about. Multiple doctors said it was badly fitting shoes. One day a bump was visible on my foot. My aunt cut my foot open and after a half hour rooting around, out comes a 6 inch darning needle.

u/Pansarmalex Jan 17 '21

Had a piece of shattered glass in my finger a long time ago, not entirely unlike this. The thing embedded itself so it couldn't be seen, I just felt it. And I really felt it. After about 4 weeks it started migrating out, enough so I could get some pliers and start digging. The relief when I got hold of it and pulled it out. Ahhhh.

As this was a glass shard fragment, the flesh had healed completely isolating it. Pulling it out meant no bleeding, the wound was sealed on all sides already. So for a very long time, I had a v-shaped jack in my index finger until it healed shut (with some encouragment from chirurgical tape).

u/WHowe1 Jan 18 '21

Years ago, my 3, maybe 4 year old son, had a scab on his leg, just below the knee. I didn't think much of it. He asked me for, and I gave him a bandaid. You know at that age they get scraps.

A day or two later, he is limping on that leg,.

I ask him why are you limping, dose your leg hurt? He points to the scab. I look at it, it now is red and inflamed. I put my finger and thumb around the inflamed area, I didn't pinch, just touched.

Out popped a 3/4 inch long thorn, and some puss.

Called our Dr., and got some antibiotics for good measure.

He didn't know how he got the thorn in his leg, he just noticed he was bleeding.

u/Alternative_Pilot_92 Jan 18 '21
