Possibly: It may be finger over use from too much mouseing or it carpal tunnel syndrome. Try either a wrist immobilizer thst you wear or a wrist support for your mousepad. If still symptomatic you need to be checked by your doctor.

Infection: Without an actual examination, I cannot give specific medical advice on your particular health, but here is some good general information.
Swelling/pain/warmth imply infection which can rapidly get worse and lead to gangrene or blood poisoning and would be a reason to seek IMMEDIATE medical attention.
