<bot>: The safest way to remove a splinter is to first sterilize the area around the splinter with rubbing alcohol or alcohol wipes. Then, using a clean pair of tweezers, carefully and gently remove the splinter from the skin. Afterward, clean the area again with more rubbing alcohol or alcohol wipes. If the splinter does not easily come out, seek medical assistance.
