Hello as a general surgeon and practitioner I would suggest you to do x-ray of your right hand to see if there is any iron particles at the wound site.
Sometimes such particles are sustained with the wound for many years.
In that case local exploration is required to see anything is remaining inside.
Next Steps
kindly provide me your complaints.
so that I can help you with this.
I am happy to help you 👍
