Can A Finger Injury Cause Infection?
I cut myself with a box cutter at work while cutting boxes on the side of my finger. Its been a few days and my middle finger is soar and has a wart where the cut is. It looks as if there is puss but when I try squeezing it there is none. Now my whole body is soar for no apparent reason. Could it be infected?
