Mid Knuckle Of Index Finger Raised After Being Stung By Honeybee Previously. Solution?
my index finger mid-knuckle is a bit raised. about 10 years ago I was stung by a honeybee on this knuckle. The swelling has NEVER completed gone down since then. Now, the knuckle has become more raised/round and almost calloused in the last couple of months. Doesn't really hurt at all, but looks terrible. what caused this and what can be done?
Hi, as you describe it appears to be the benign grouth of the skin, other cause may be a ganglion, if it is ganglion, or benign grouth you can have excision, and suturing. so i advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
