Glass splinter in thumb

2021-06-01 01:27:06
I got a small glass splinter in my thumb and I am unable to see it or get it out. Sometimes while touching the area, I feel something is there. I'm not sure which doctor shall I go for- general physician or dermatologist. And will this need any surgery ?
