A member asked:
My knuckle was pricked by a thistle plant thorn, and ever since then it has been painful and tender to touch. what should i do?!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Since when?: The infection of the small wound is not uncommon after this. Since i don't know the duration, if there is any redness, swelling and warmth to touch i would advise to have it checked by the doctor.
