YES A splinter ? see doctor if you can not remove it .

Possibly. When my daughter was about 3, she got a splinter in her knee and wouldn't let me touch it. After she went to bed, I put alcohol on cotton ball and held it against the splinter in hopes of preventing an infection. It worked. In a few months the splinter worked itself out and I didn't have to pull it.

most of the time. And you will always know its there.
