Swollen, Tender, Stuck Up Joint Of Ring Finger. Histroy Of Cut And Bleeding. Advice

Hi ! I'm concerned about my ring finger. About 2 months ago I cut it while cooking. It bled a lot but I figured it would heal ok. Now the joint is very swollen and I can't get my ring on. It's tender to touch and sticks up a little at the middle joint. What could've caused it and will it heal on its own and go back to normal?
