hi there, i got a thorn of a palmtree or cycad in the cartelidge/joint in my finger, it swell up for a couple of days,after 2 months there is no swelling just a little hard lump.its a bit painful but not a lot. i dont think there is anything remaining as the thorn went straight out again. i ran out of healthinsurance, so i dont want to see a doctor here. i took antibiotics for 7 days, amyciclin, but i didnt change. should i use antibiotic cream? will it go away after couple of months? thank you so much kat
