cactus removal from my sulcata

how to remove a little cactus spur from the eye lid of my sulcata. It rubbed up against a cactus with very fine spines and it got a little spine on the eyelid and it tried to wipe it with its foot but it didn't come off and it is making the eyelid so it won't open because it looks painful. I can see the spur but I don't want to chance trying to remove it with a tweezer in case it flinches and then the eye gets poked from the tweezer. I tried to wash it off but it is still there.
