More than 2000 Queenslanders went to hospital emergency departments for help with splinters over the past six months, and more than 1600 for bruises.
Thirty-three people also presented for help with acne, and 13 for hiccups.
The new data has prompted a reminder from Queensland Health that "the emergency department is not the place for these things".
Queensland Health’s chief clinical information officer, Professor Keith McNeil, said while no one was ever turned away from
emergency, residents needed to go to a GP for minor issues.
He estimated around 32 per cent of Queensland's 155,000 monthly ED presentations could be dealt with by a GP.
