Try these simple remedies to draw the splinter out from your finger –
  • Soak your fingers in hot water for 10-15 minutes and then try to pull the splinter out with the help of a sterilized tweezers. Adding salt in the water would also help.
  • Place a scotch tape/duct tape or sealing tape over the splinter and pull it off briskly and quickly.


    The splinter would come off with the tape from your finger.
  • Clean the finger properly. Soak oil in a tissue and rub it against the splinter.


    Then with the help of your other finger push the end of the splinter towards the front. It would pain a bit but will ease the situation as it will successfully remove the splinter too.
  • Rub the inner part of the freshly peeled potato against the splinter and then remove it with your fingers or a pair of tweezers easily.
  • Never think that it is going to hurt you. Be brave and deal with the tiny splinter easily.
