Hello,
Anytime there is trauma such as a laceration the body sends in clotting factors and other cells to help take care of the problem. This causes some inflammation. Prop your hand up above the level of your heart as much as possible. If it worsening or is severe, see your doctor. It should resolve in a few weeks.
