What Causes Swelling On The Hand After A Nail Scratch?
I work at a truck stop and the neighborhood motel is known for drug users. I was working 3 days ago and I was handing a lady back her change and she scratched my hand with her fingernail. Now my hand is red swollen and so sore I cannot make a fist. What could it be and do I need to go to the doctor?
