Question: I have a cuticle which does not look infected, but is painful to the touch. I am going to have a knee replacement. Should I see my family doc. It is not particularly red, no pus, no fever, nothing showing on the whole finger

Non Infecred lesions will not cause any problem in surgery.

If it is not infected , then there will be no problem in knee replacement . Only when there is some active infection in the body, Surgery is not done . So go ahead with your surgery. But please tell your doctor about it before surgery.
