Q: Blistered / swollen Finger
asked by: gixxsta04 on June 5th, 2007

About a week after I cut myself on a piece of stainless steel, I noticed these small groups of clear blisters on my finger, now a few days later the entire tip of the finger is covered by these blisters. The blisters, however, do not surround the cut. I stuck one of the blisters with a needle and a clear liquid came out, I poured peroxide on this liquid and it did not fizz up. The swelling is so great that it is painful and it is hard to bend my knuckle. It also itches very badly. I have been taking benadryl and applying hydrocortisone for a few days and it doesnt seem to help. I use glass cleaner quite a bit at work, could this be an allergic reaction to the glass cleaner? It might have gotten in the cut.

You probably just got some bacteria in the cut which caused an infection. I would suggest having that looked at asap. Keep your eye out for severe pus, and a red line coming from the cut/sores....this could mean an infection in the blood stream which is an emergency. A friend of mine cut his finger and he ignored it and it got so infected he had to have surgery and had a horrible blood infection.
