What Causes Sore And Swollen Fingertip?
I have a sore, slightly swollen fingertip. It hurts to touch and is slightly warm. I recently had a manicure and one of my other fingers was cut by the person doing the manicure. Not sure there is a connection but would like ideas for treating my sore fingertip
