Small piece of pencil tip penetrated in hand wat will happen

Dear Ask The Doctor: Small piece of pencil tip pentrated in hand , but not possible to take out since it is very small, what will happen if it is not taken out from the hand. please advice this is fom my son age 6 years old

Dear Jeyasankar: I would definitely not let it stay in the skin as this could cause infection. You should go and see your family physician immediately for them to take care of this
