A member asked:

Cut thumb at knuckle on sanitized slicer at work cleaned the wound and dressed it now it has been 2 days the wound is healing but my thumb is swollen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Some inflammation: during the healing process can be normal, and that can include swelling, but infection is always a concern. If there is significant redness or drainage, you may want to consider seeing your doctor. Hope this helps!
