Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!
If I were your treating Doctor for this case of painful thumb swelling, I would consider some infective pathology like tendinitis/bursitis or infected inclusion cyst!
This one needs antibiotic therapy and sometimes incision / excision for cure!
Therefore you need examination by a surgeon.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
