Possible finger infection
I had a minor cut on the side of my finger while working in a warehouse that has already healed. Within 10 hours it was swollen to where I could no longer move it. It has since been painful to touch, had a warmer temperature, red, and the skin on top of the finger is peeling. It has been a week. There are no red streaks and the swelling is now isolated to a small area, with the rest of the symptoms. Should I go to the doctors or can epson salt fix this?
