Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I cut my knuckle (with a paring knife while cooking) - this happened on Monday; the cut appears closed but now the blood seems to have diffused (almost like a bruise) above and below the cut along my finger. Is this normal? Should I see someone about this or just let it work itself out?
Hello, my name is Dr Olgeta Xhufka. I understand your concern. It looks like your finger is infected. I would recomand to use an ointment with antibiotics . You can use duospore or ery pads tree times daily topically used. Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help you. Best regards.
