If it's deep enough, then local anesthetic and tweezers and/or small incision. Pencils no longer use lead - they're graphite.
A bit more:
Unless they have changed how they treat from they way they did 20 years ago, they often advise the patient to just leave it alone unless it begins to show infection.
I have a piece in the palm of my hand, as well as a piece in my hip from a pencil fight at school with another kid from almost 45 years ago. Neither of them have ever caused me any problems of any kind.
When my daughter was around ten years old (well over 20 years ago) she got a piece of pencil lead stuck in her arm. I took her to the doctor, who said to just keep it clean with soap and water, and keep an eye on it to make sure it didn't begin to show signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, pain, fever.
But it would probably be a good idea to have a doctor or a nurse practitioner examine it, just to be safe.
i got pencil let stuck under my skin and its still there and it really hurts so if you have the same thing happen to you then get a needle and tweasers and try to get it out if you get it out but it still looks grey on your skin you can reopen it and clean the cut but that is really painful! so just leave the grey skin alone and it will go away,dont worry about it though you will be fine this happens to people all the time.it was prabally an accident.
