I'm worried about this piece of glass that got embedded in my left palm near my thumb about a week ago. It's not deep, I think, and there's no pain, just this annoying sensation when I press on it. I'm wondering if it'll come out on its own. Is it possible to take it out myself with a small cut using a clean razor blade? Also, does our skin naturally push out foreign objects over time as it heals from the inside? Would love some guidance on this.
