Well there are a couple of different things. These are merely what i have experienced in my life.
1) they get hold of infected and red, and that is no fun.
2)your body ends up pushing it out by its self.
3) My skin grew over the splinter (I don't remember what happened to it because i ended up forgetting something like it, but i don't see it in my thumb anymore)
Someone smarter will come along and correct me if necessary hha ha ha.
Your immune system will see in and pus will form as white blood cells attack the germs and debris. If germs continue to multiply despite the immune response, an active infection may develop, in which crust it will become inflamed and painful. the infection can spread within your skin, or your body may enclose it by forming an abscess. In some cases, infection doesn't ensue, and the body just encloses it by forming a fibrous wall around it, and it may stay there for years. Most normally, though, it will work it's way to the surface of the skin, and you can then remove it. For now you can label a solution of Epsom salts dissolved in warm hose down and soak the area. this will help to draw any remaining splinters out. You can also make a poultice beside Epsom salts and water in a pasty consistency and set out that on under bandaging which will also help to draw it out. Source(s): RN
I fell down some wooden stairs last year and had a couple lodged in my hip. After something like six months they festered up (like a Zit) and popped out!
