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.
