SOAK: SOAK SOAK (Using WARM water) You should get a Tetanus update and if the swelling persists this should be checked out by your PCP (Primary Care Provider) (It's unlikely that the joint (knuckle) was pierced however if the swelling persists this may be the case and this needs an evaluation as soon as practicable! Hope this helps! DrZ
