What Causes Tenderness And Redness Around The Area Of Wound?
Hello,
The other day I was cutting wood in the woods and noticed a puncture on the top of my hand near the knuckle. A few days later the skin seems red and very tender to the touch. Also my heart seem to be tender too or it may seem. The area or tissue near the heart seems tender to the touch. I am 42 male 195 lbs an in good health, just concerned about staph infection in my hand possiblity. Thanks Bill

I had gone through your history
The wound you have in your hand is due to injury. redness and pain is due to that injury.that wil reduce on its own. if skin got cut it takes 48 hrs to get dry and formation of scab. you need not worry.
if pain is severe take pain killer tab along with antacids, the same drug reduces your pain near your heart.
Pain nea to your heart juat may be due to muscle strain as were cutting wood. You can take Tab muscle rexants like Tab Ultracet to reduce spasm and pain
thank you
take care
