Swollen, Painful Bump On Top Of Knuckle. History Of Cutting Open Finger Knuckle, Took Tetanus Shot. Will This Heal?
I cut my middle finger knuckle open about a month ago...I went straight to the clinic, I didn't need stitches but I had a tetanus shot. Anyways, the knuckle healed where the cut was but now I have a bump on top of the knuckle...it's swollen and it hurts alot...will it ever get any better? I saw my doc today and he said he didn't think it would ???

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
If there is an injury of the tendon also involved, then a surgical repair is needed for proper healing. If it is only a soft tissue injury then it will heal gradually.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
