How To Treat Red Splinters In Palm Extending Towards Arm Caused Due To Burn?
I got a splinter yesterday while handling wood on construction site, I tried to get all out, but seems like there must be something still in my palm near the thumb. Very red around the area and a redline now extending up my arm to the elbow joint on the inside.
