i accidentally caught the top of my finger on a knife while getting cutlery out of the draw (on the top just by the side of my nail abut half way down my nail- not that location matters)
anyway the top bit of my finger is a bit swollen, it's not infected or anything, it's just a bit puffy, like most cuts and grazes go.
i was wondering why your body reacts like that, i know it's trying to heal the cut but why does it swell? swelling has no purpose in the healing proses or is it a side effect?
thanx for your answers! x
