hello good morning,it would be good if you mention your age and sex with the question here.As per your symptoms,for the swelling did you get yourself injured in some accident or didnt pay attention when your finger got hurt?Any health problem you are already suffering from?since how many days you are experiencing these symptoms?any family history of similar symptoms?any stiffness in body ,any other joint involved?I would advice you to meet a doctor(rheumatologist) and after checking the swelling in person it will be easy to comment on it along with all history.Further if needed some blood tests need to be done for this.Also the rashes can be due to many reasons,any allergy that you know to any substance ,food?Joint pain and rashes suggest many things like autoimmune diseases,where the rashes are ?Are you on any medication for the pain?need to rule out a lot of things so its better to visit a doctor soon.and do the necessary tests adviced after meeting doctor.
