Splinter?

I got a tiny wooden splinter from by doorframe it’s not in too deep but I can’t seem to get it out. I might have to draw blood to get it out is it anything to worry about or can I leave it.

Not really, but don't wait too long, as it can get infected
Your body can expel it on its own, but you have to be careful that it does not get infected. Keep it clean. If it does seem to be infected, see a healthcare provider.
