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. If the area where the splinter was is red, tender, and/or hurts really badly, it is probably infected and you should call a doctor to get it out.
