Question: Help, I stepped on a tiny piece of glass, and I need some help to remove it....?
I stepped on a tiny piece of glass and now it's in my foot, and no matter what I do I cant get it out... does anyone have any suggestions on things I can do to get it out... i heard that eventually any body rejects a foreign object, but I'm a mail carrier, and I have to be on my feet all day long tomorrow! Any suggestions may help! Thank you!Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Get a sewing needle and soak it in alcohol.Then,where the glass is,pull away the skin with the needle.Get some tweezers and pull it out.You would need to put alcohol on your foot with a bandaid,and some ointment.Good luck!Health Question & Answer

I dont know if you can find it anymore, but I would call pharmacys and ask the pharmacist if they carry something called "drawing salve".
Good Luck!
If not then I agree with the soaking of the foot in warm water and epsom salt, but istead of using tweezers I suggest lightly scaping over the area with a credit card (after cleaning the card with alcohol).

Yes, i agree, Soak your foot in hot salty water and then try to pull it out with a pair of tweezers if its possible without it hurting too much... If you can't get it out, then you may have to go to the emergency room to ask a nurse or doctor if they can get it out.Health Question & Answer

If you can feel a sharp edge and just can't get to it try taking a piece of tape and push it on to the site and slowly peel it off and the glass should come with it. Health Question & Answer

you could try soaking your foot in hot water
but dont squeeze or use tweezers because you could damage the nerves
