A member asked:

I punched a wall a few times and my knuckle is very swollen and bruised. i can still see my knuckle when i make a fist. how should i treat it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Have it evaluated: Punching anything is dangerous and puts you at risk of a fracture of the hand (called a Boxer's fracture) . You might have also embedded material from the wall into your skin or deeper tissues. This can result in a serious infection.
