Hello, i cut my finger and i have an allergic reaction to the cut i notice this more and more often now a days, is this normal?

May be infected: People usually don't get "allergic" reactions to a cut in the skin. If a cut or its surrounding skin gets unusually tender, reddened, or swollen, it may be infected and may need a doctor's evaluation. Infected cuts need treatment with prescription antibiotics.
