Yes. Your body's natural cell process will push the pencil lead out of your skin. However, you must see a doctor ff a pencil lead is stuck deep inside your skin, is in an area near the eye, is red or pink, or you have not have a tetanus shot in five years, or you are concerned of having a permanent discoloration.

What happens when you stab yourself with a pencil?

There wouldn't be anything bad besides bleeding if there's a black line made by the pencil when you were stabed, you can't do anything about it unless you accidentally rip the first layer of the transparent skin, you can wash the black line/spot away before the skin recovers.

Conversation between a pen and a pencil?

Dialogue Between Pen and Pencil The grass was green as ever, the sun was angry as never. The air was cool enough to touch the skin and relax it. the place where they were sitting was a garden. Both were looking cool and comfortable to face the scene. The day was peaceful, Pen and Pencil were facing each other and the arguments begin as, Pen: You are so unrealistic and overly down to earth. You do whatever people say to you and they manipulate you often. Pencil: People are not perfect and they do make wrong choices and commit mistakes, I am just considerate about them. It is your negative mind that you consider people as deceivers and manipulators, However, I just think that it is self-correction and not manipulation. Pen: Wow! It means my judgment about you is justified. Pencil: What judgment? Pen: That you are unrealistic! Pencil: Oh! come on, People are not always behaving as you think. Tell me what if you had written in your goals that if you could not succeed in some of your commitments, you would commit suicide, wouldn't it be better to erase that commitment? what do you say? Pen: Ahh! people are not silly like that, now you are being negative about people. just see you said. Pencil: Well! what is your purpose of being so strict? Pen: Well, I believe, the value lies in being a man of words. Pencil: I see. But you are dangerous for students then, how can you justify it? Pen: That is simple, maturity and sensibility follow self-confidence, and self-confidence comes through me. Once they answer any question they should be accountable for it. Pencil: True in some sense, but I am a symbol of hope for everyone because they can sharpen me anytime for better results but you have got no such talent. Pen: Ahh! but still, most of the world uses me. Pencil starts crying, leaven the garden with last words as, *I resemble God more than you, As I let people erase their faults which is the sacred attribute of God. Pen: I surrender! Discussion ends! Questions: 1- Which character you support and why? 2- Pencil was using which tactic to persuade Pen? 3- which is your favorite argument in this?


Can lead be absorbed?

Lead (Pb) can be absorbed into the body in several ways. 1. Ingestion - that is eating / licking lead or lead containing material. In some plastic molding lead is used as a release agent and may contaminate the plastic. Old paint had lead in it. 2. Inhalation - Dust from lead or lead containing material can be breathed in and and can be a hazard. Vapor from soldering (Stained Glass, electronics) may also be breathed in. 3. Direct contact / injection - rubbing a piece of lead or having slivers of lead under the skin may allow lead to be absorbed. Lead is a heavy metal and is considered toxic. It can damage nervous connections (especially in young children) and cause blood and brain disorders. Lead poisoning typically results from ingestion of food or water contaminated with lead; but may also occur after accidental ingestion of contaminated soil, dust, or lead based paint.

They quit using actual lead in pencils a long time ago, so I'm betting that what is under your skin is just graphite, which is harmless. Still, it may be a good idea to watch your finger over the next week, and if it gets red or sore, talk to your doctor. But don't worry, I myself have had a small piece of pencil lead in my finger for over a year and a half, so you should be fine.

How can you remove pencil lead from under the skin?

Try this: If the lead is still in, remove it with a needle and tweezers. If it is out there will still be some carbon black that will stay on the inside of the skin. If this is the case, just leave it alone. The only other option would be to reopen it and scrape the area clean and that would be too painful.
