What Does Sore Finger With Puffy Whiteness Under The Skin Of Knuckle Suggest?

Hey there,



I have had soreness in the joint of my left pointer/index finger...for about a month. Today, on top of the finger, just below the knuckle...there's somewhat of a small, puffy whiteness under the skin and redness on top, partially from my rubbing it. But coincidently, for almost a week, I've had a lot of soreness in my right jaw. I thought it was from eating chewy breakfast bars last week, which may have aggravated my TMJ issues...but now I just wanna be sure it's not something else...Tetanus ? I'm probably just over-worrying ! Thanks for any advice or comments.
