Help! how can i get a splinter out?

it is a little splinter pretty deep in there. not infected or anything. it is in the side of my right hand, like on the pinky side of my palm when it is face up. please answer quickly it hurts soooo bad.
Answer:
Method no 1
Take some wood glue like Elmers Glue or any other wood glue and put a drop right on the splinter. Smear it just a bit and let it dry. After it is dry just peel it off in the direction the splinter went in (so you don't break it off) and the glue will pull the splinter out for you!!
method no 2
1. Wash your hands.
2. Irrigate the affected area with a liquid antiseptic such as Betadine, or just wash the affected area.
3. Make a paste using water and about 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda.
4. Put this paste on a bandage and apply the bandage to the affected area.
5. After 24 hours, remove the bandage and rinse the area. The splinter will be sticking out of the skin and you or the child will be able to remove it easily.

try getting it with tweezers, if its not poking through your skin, then try squeezing it until its nearer to the surface
get some tweezers or needle and have someone pick it out
a needle/tweezers work. to grab it.Another way would be to put some elmers's glue on it...let it all dry, and then peel the glue off like you did in elemetary school!!
If it is sticking out, put a piece of tape over it, it will pull it out better than digging at it with tweezers. If it is not sticking out, you need some sort of salve that draws it out.
I use tweezers first if that fails I get a sewing needle and poke my skin under the splinter and force it out. I get mine out everytime
Using Elmer's Glue To remove a splinter, simply apply some Elmer's glue over the splinter. After the glue dries, peel it off and the splinter will often come out also. This is especially helpful on children who are frightened by tweezers and needles. Our family relies on this method of splinter removal as it is painless. By Barbara Hauser Using Scotch Tape When you get a splinter, reach for the scotch tape before resorting to tweezers or a needle. Simply put the scotch tape over the splinter, and then pull it off. Scotch tape removes most splinters painlessly and easily.
Step OneTry to "milk" out the splinter by gently squeezing your fingertips on each side of it. If this doesn't work, try the following steps.
2Step TwoIf you're worried about causing pain, rub the splinter site with a numbing teething gel or ice before removing the splinter. Keep in mind, however, that chilling the area may cause the splinter to retract from the top of the skin and may make its removal more challenging.
3Step ThreeClean a needle, a pair of tweezers and a small pair of nail clippers with isopropyl alcohol and let it air-dry. Be sure to swab the pinching surfaces of the tweezers and the cutting edges of the nail clippers.
4Step FourUse soap and water, or antiseptic solution, to wash the skin where the splinter has lodged itself.
5Step FiveWith the tip of the needle, make a small hole in the skin above the splinter. Once you have access to the splinter, gently try to squeeze it through the hole. If necessary, increase the size of the hole with the needle. Use your tweezers to pull out the splinter as soon as you can get hold of it.
6Step SixIf you're not able to open a path for the splinter with the needle, use the nail clippers very carefully to cut away the skin above the splinter.
Tips %26 Warnings
Soak the infected area in warm water to soften the skin if you have trouble getting access to the splinter.
Most splinters eventually work themselves out on their own.
If you're having difficulty removing the splinter and it's taking you more than a few minutes, wipe the site again with antiseptic solution to continually sterilize the site.
Do not dig at a splinter for longer than 10 minutes. If you've been unable to remove the splinter within that amount of time, see your doctor. Too much poking and prodding will lead to tissue damage.
Be sure you are current on your tetanus vaccine. If a splinter comes in contact with dirt or animal dung before it punctures your skin, it could potentially be carrying the tetanus bacteria.
If you have any questions or concerns, contact a physician or other health care professional before engaging in any activity related to health and diet.
