You could try cutting a piece of potato to see if it'll draw the splinter out b/c the starch in the potato tends to open up the skin more drawing out whatever it is in your skin. Eventually it should fall out on its own. But if it starts to get infected then you may want to see a doctor.

soak your foot in water and it may loosen it up and you might be able to get it out remember to sterilize the tweezers :D

Watch the area if there is any swelling or redness. Don't mess with it anymore... If it hurts and it looks infected, have you doctor look at it. I had splinters before and I just left it alone. But don't wait too long to see your doc if you think something is wrong...
