Apparently my daughter decided to step on a cactus today. I couldn't get much of it out, so should we just let if dissolve or have the doc pull it out. The is about 1/4" in there.

It will not dissolve and the pain will only get worse. I had one stuck between my pointer and middle finger. Went to the dr and they cut the whole area up looking for it. 2 months later I couldn't take it anymore so I used my leatherman and found it myself. The pain was almost unbearable at that point.

I had a piece of mesquite torn that was easily over 1/4 long on the tip of one of my fingers right below the nail. I didn't realize it was there until it started to get infected. That was some agonizing pain for the better part of two weeks. every time I grabbed anything or stuck my hand in my pocket it would remind me of the problem.
Hope you folks are able to get it out.
