What Is The Cause For A Reddish Bump Around A Small Cut After Chemotherapy?
I cut my finger over a week ago, and I have developed a hard reddish bump around this very small cut. It is tender to touch but not too painful. Should I go see my doctor or go to urgent care? I went through chemotherapy last year and have some residual neuropathy, but have not had any other issues with small paper cuts, etc. on my fingers.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this could be hypergranulation tissue, these type of tissue called over grow tissue, you have to wait for some time this could get alright, if it does not then you have to take the surgical opinion this condition is not related with the chemotherapy, hope this information help you have nice day.
