Tiny splinter embedded under the skin.
Hello I believe I have a tiny piece of thorn embedded inside my skin since 3months. At first I thought the skin was free of it but soon I realized I could feel something under my skin near the knee area when I pressed the skin. I tried squeezing it out but I do not see it popping out. What must I undertake as an immediate action. There are no infective symtomes or pain so far.
