If you have a splinter, soaking your foot in warm, soapy water can help soften the skin and make it easier to remove the splinter. Adding Epsom salt to the water may also help reduce swelling and discomfort. After soaking for about 15-20 minutes, you can gently try to extract the splinter with clean tweezers. If the splinter is deep or difficult to remove, it's best to seek medical assistance.

Well, it depends. Sometimes splinters can get infected and mess up your foot. But usually nothing happens. You can get a splinter that's under your skin out by soaking it with warm/hot water.
