Answer #1

I’ve been trying to get it out for 2 days now, and my mother refuses 2 take me 2 the doctor, because she says they will just do the same thing i’ve been doing.

Answer #2

Go to your local clinic or emergency room. If it is a big piece, it will only get worse. If it is a tiny tiny piece, it may heal and be of no concern. I would have it looked at.

Answer #3

How much would you call big?

Answer #4

I jabbed myself with a pencil in the 3rd grade and couldn’t get it out either. My mom took me to the doctor and he told me that as since the pecil was graphite, not lead, that it was harmless and the pencil would just stay there. I’m 15 now and you can still see the pencil in my palm. Mine didn’t hurt all that bad and if you actually have a big piece of graphite stuck in your foot, you should see the doctor. If it’s actual lead, head to the ER.
