Eventually the thorn will come to the surface and squeeze out, or be absorbed.

Pretty basic.

I had a sliver of glass get into my thumb next to the nail… worked it out with tweezers, painfully, but it took a few days of swelling for it to heal over, and then new skin started to push that away for about a couple weeks… just now leveling off

It’s surprising how much damage a little fragment can cause sometime.

Watch for any severe dark discoloration, lack of healing after a week or two, or any red lines etc

When I googled a tiny black bug bite...

It said No-see-um. It actually welted and hurt, considering the nothing it is. I picked the black off, then cleaned it. About a week later it oozed a clear hard liquid and now is going away.

Nasty little bite.

You're the best! Will try a little prick and see what happens. And buy some Epsom salt.

Followed by soaking it in hot water actually drew out what was either a tiny thorn or splinter of some kind. So odd that the black spot wasn't visible or painful until today. I got immediate relief from the pain. The bump is still soar. Not sure if there is more to come. But for now I'm good!!
