Pencil "lead" stuck under skin

[irishmurdoch]

My DD has somehow managed to get s piece of pencil stuck under her skin just under her eyebrow.. long story short, i thought it was a tiny bruise from a football hitting her in the face but she's only just told me a month later that she had an accident with a pencil at school the same day. Any advice on whether it will work its way out or whether there are any steps I need to take?

I've had some in my hand for thirty years (argument with a sibling during a heated game of cluedo as kids). There's a small visible bump as well as the colour, so I'm pretty sure it's still in there. Definitely worth asking GP if anything can be done as it's on the face though.

I've got one under my eye that was done over 50 years ago - I rarely think about it and occasionally someone says I have a mark on my cheek and I then remember after I've tried to wipe it off!
