A member asked:
My ring knuckle is smaller after bare knuckle boxing. no pain, discoloration, or deformities. a red line distal to the knuckle. what is wrong with it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
X-ray needed: Number one I don't recommend bare knuckle fighting especially if your opponent isn't wearing sparring gear on the head. You should get an X-ray. Redness is a sign of inflammation. It can be you have an infection, especially if you have any cuts.
