Artin	Unlike nails made of iron, it won’t get rust or degrade into your flesh! Glass piece be a glass piece for years! A glass piece inside your foot would move either the way out or inside your bones. Normally a glass pieces left in would make their way out! But it’s a bit risky! When it moves inside it may form irritations on bones and make it decay to make its way into it! So better treat it with a doc! The only plus you have is, Glasses won’t decay as iron! But, it won’t guarantee that you are safe! Better take treatment! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

rebelrouzr	how big of piece are we talking about? my dad had a splinter in the bottom of his foot and it worked its way up through his foot and festered into a cyst on the top of his foot. I wouldn't recommend leaving it in there, flush it out with water, and use a tweezer. Or, go see your doctor to get it cleaned out. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

scubadiver50704	It will eventually infect a little bit to a lot and try to reject the glass on its own. But your foot will probably not be able to do so on its own without your help. The area will become very red and sore. You will have to take it out. Might as well do it now. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

thomhadel	The skin will scar but heal.... then the body will attack the glass and there will be large amounts of puss... depending on the size of the glass... and it will most definitely get infected and there is that slight chance if you leave it long enough that you might get gang green...
