Hello,

If you cut your fingers deeply and they are now inflamed, it is possible that you may have an infection. It is best to seek medical attention from a healthcare professional who can evaluate the cut, clean it properly, and provide any necessary treatment, such as antibiotics or stitches.

In the meantime, you can try soaking your fingers in warm water with Epsom salt to help reduce inflammation and promote healing. Keep the area clean and dry, and avoid applying any creams or ointments until you have seen a healthcare provider.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
