Scrape And Swollent Knuckle.
2 days ago, I was cutting up a dirty pool cover and the cutting action caused an open wound above my knuckle. The wound is clean but today my knuckle is now swollen. Is that normal ?

Thanks for the query
Yes it is normal to get a swelling after a wound, but make sure u r able tonmove all your fingers, to rule put a fracture. Dressing has to be done regularly to prevent infection, more so if you are a diabetic. Meet a gen surgeon
