How to remove a splinter from finger?

How do you treat your finger that is infected and swollen because you can't remove a small splinter?

  • Answer:

    One method of treatment would be to soak your finger in a solution of one cup of epsom salts in two cups of hot water. The water should be hot, but not hot enough to burn your skin. As the solution cools, it can be reheated in the microwave. Soak your finger in the solution until the skin wrinkles. If the wound has a scab, try to remove it once it softens, so that the solution may penetrate the wound. Afterward, apply triple antibiotic ointment and a bandage to the wound. One treatment a day for 2-3 days may be necessary for healing to begin.
