Applying hot water to a deep splinter can help soften the skin, making it easier to remove the splinter without causing further damage or pain. The warmth can also help to open up the pores, possibly allowing the splinter to work its way to the surface on its own.

Why is it that when you put the left in cold water and the right hand in hot water and take both out and put them normal water why does the left hand feel hot and the right feel cold?

This is due to the phenomenon known as contrast effect. When you first put your hands in cold and hot water, your nerves respond to the extreme temperatures. When you move them to the lukewarm water, the hand that was in the cold water will perceive the water as hot because of the contrast in temperatures.
