Extract cactus barb from finger

I have a cactus barb stuck inside my finger. Has been there almost 3 weeks. Wondering what is a good way to draw it out, as opposed to surgery

Seek your physician's guidance, in the presence of inflammation or pus formation. If on surface, tweezers might prove helpful. Some prefer using a sterilised sharp object to pull it out.


Soaking in warm water and topical application of an antibiotic cream is beneficial.
