I've had this splinter stuck in my finger for around 5 months now, and no matter how hard I try, I can't find it or get it out. Now there's this hard bump that's super sensitive and sometimes painful when I press on it. There's this one spot that's particularly tender, right where the splinter originally was. I've cut away dead skin and tried to find it so many times, but this bump just keeps coming back after about a week. What should I do about this?
