1.  Soak the area in warm water for about 10 minutes, then gently pull the splinter out with tweezers.
2.  If the splinter is too close to the skin, use an antiseptic cream or solution to help prevent infection.
3.  Apply petroleum jelly directly over the splinter and cover it with a bandage.
4.  Use a pair of needle nose pliers to grip the splinter and carefully remove it from the skin.
