Suggest Treatment For Cut In The Finger Due To Razor

Cut my knuckle on the edge of the saran wrap razor on my ring finger knuckle. Clean cut, treated with polysporin right away and bandaged with a splint. It swelled up almost right away and has not gone down. My finger is stiff, but not red or warm and the cut has closed and looks ok. Help!
