Prid Drawing Salve For Splinters

Smile's Prid Drawing Salve – best thing for splinters or glass!

If you ever get a splinter, a shard of glass, or anything else stuck in/under your skin, don't even try any other remedy.

I stepped on a tiny shard of glass in the kitchen (from a broken skillet lid) and could not get it out. It was in my heel, so every time I stepped with that foot, it hurt. For over a week. Lo and I both tried to dig it out several times. I tried several remedies found on the internet. I asked my family and my sisters recommended epsom salt soak or a drawing salve. Both required a trip to the store, and the drawing salve sounded hokey (no offense Christine), so I ignored it for another day or two. It got to the point that the area had healed over, but still hurt. I was about to make an Dr. appointment because I didn't know what else to do (but appointments are such a hassle now that I stay at home). I read some reviews of drawing salve on Amazon and they all claimed that it actually worked.

I sent Lo a text asking him to stop at a drugstore and pick up Smiles' Prid Homeopathic Drawing Salve on his way home. I used it for 2 days, covering it with a bandaid, and when I checked it one night, the glass was at the surface and I was able to pull it out easily. It was tiny. It felt so huge in my foot!

Lo wasn't as impressed as I was until he got a thorn or something stuck in his hand a few weeks later. He then declared it magic.

He has a piece of lead (from pencil) that has been stuck in his leg since he was in school from when a friend stabbed him (or something?). You can see it from the surface, but it's deep enough that the nurse couldn't get it out then. I kind of want to try it on that…but it's probably too late for that after 15 or so years.

Next time you get a splinter or something, try drawing salve. There are a couple of different brands – they have good reviews, so just try whatever you can find. I have no idea what half of the ingredients are, and they sound a little scary, but it's worth it for how well it worked and how little I had to use.
