Wood will fester, metal might stay. I drove a splinter through my finger once when it was cold, didn't feel it. Saw it when I came in, dig down and pulled it while the finger was still cold. Longest splinter I've ever pulled, but not the biggest...sadly.

Soaking it in warm water will help on my the digging by softening the region. The icing helps, as I learned the hard way!

I'm pulling for you!
