I've heard that I can get rid of a splinter with a hot nail. Is this true?

It’s not recommended to use heat on your skin, but if you really want to try it out, here are some tips for doing so safely: 
1. Use an electric or gas stove instead of an open flame like a candle or lighter.
2. Keep the area around the splinter as clean and dry as possible.
3. Make sure to keep your finger away from the flame while heating up the nail.
4. Apply pressure to the splinter when using the hot nail.
5. Let the splinter cool before removing it.
