What Causes Swelling And Pain On A Stitched Healing Wound?
Hi, about 5 days ago i cut the knuckle on the back of my hand on a table. I got 3 stiches put in and yesterday it was looking really good and very functional. This morning ive woken up to find it absoloutely aching like mad and it is slightly swollen and the area is a pink colour. I cant move my finger at all without pain.

Hi,
This may be due to infection. You need sensitive antibiotics to control this.
Stay healthy and let me know if you need any clarifications.
Thanks!
