It could either push its way out when your skin layer regrow or it can get infected..
I would really try to get it out as the risk of infection is greater than the chance of the splinter coming out by itself.. It won't dissolve :)Health Question & Answer

wood does not dissolve like that.. leaving it in will cause a moderate amount of pain when pushed on.. it has happened to me.. i had to cut my finger to get it out.. sometimes the skin will push it out but that is only if it is small.. a eighth inch or larger splinter will not be pushed out.. just get it out or risk infection..Health Question & Answer
No.. It will not dissolve.. Put a bandaid over it and some neosporin or antibiotic ointment.. In a day or so the splinter will have a bunch of pus around it and will pop right out..Health Question & Answer
It will more than likely get infected or work its way out over time..........It would take a really long time to dissolve on the ground even and I dont even know it can dissolve in your body........Health Question & Answer
