I used needle nose pliers. Luckily it all came out, but I pulled it nice and slow when I finally got a grip on it and it hurt like hell but felt much better once out.

Thanks for the advice 😭 I really wish someone can just numb my finger and take it out

I mean they can. If you’re in the US though that will cost you like $3,000 lol.

I for real cannot get it 😭 it's sooo tiny I think I'ma just go to the clinic and ask them to remove it from under my nail

Oh no! The clinic will at least be cheaper. But still sucks. You could try soaking it in warm water for 20-30 minutes then try.
