What to do about splinter in foot?

Question: I fell on concrete earlier tonight and the cut is pretty deep on my foot. There were very small black spots that were from the concrete in my foot, and I got rid of the majority but I think that I can vaguely notice a few very small dark spots that may be some more but are so deep that everytime i try to pick them out, it bleeds too much. Should I wait and see if the dark spots are just my eyes playing tricks on me or should I just let them go if they are splinters, because they are really small??

Answers:
Try soaking your foot in very warm water. If the cut is very deep, you might have needed stitches, but it's likely too late for them, now. Soaking it in hot water will help pull any foreign material from the wound. Otherwise, you can wait for your body to naturally reject the foreign material. Quit picking at it for now, and just keep an antibiotic ointment on it, if you can.

Please do not wrap any open wound with any food product, especially raw meat. You are putting yourself at great risk of blood poisoning if you do.

Good luck!

well it's always a good idea to see a doctor if you can afford one. that said, your body will usually push out foreign materials in it. usually
