Dr. Raymond Wittstadt answered

Specializes in Hand Surgery

Infection: This could be some type of allergic reaction, but your symptoms worry me. A staph or strep infection some times starts out this way. Elevate the area, apply warm compress. If not better see your doctor right away to get it checked out.
