Finger got swollen after reinjury.wrapped the pip joint in coban for 1month.now skin seems loose/lines seem stretched .is this permanent?what can i do

Not permanent.: The laxity is due to not moving the joint for a month. As you start moving the joint again the skin should tighten up fairly promptly.
