I got poked on my finger by a sticker on a Palm tree; it's been 30+ days and i still have swollen red bump

Question

I thought perhaps it left a splinter and thought I had gotten it out. It was really sore for a few days, but isn't now. It just keeps peeling off layers of skin from a dry center with raised redness around that. Are Palm tree stickers poison? Should I go have this looked at by a doctor or do you think it will just go away eventually?

Answer 1

If it's been that long and it hasn't gone away, it's probably infected. You should go to the doctor to have them take a look.

Answer 2

you could have a piece of the palm tree sticker embedded in your finger.
that is why it is infected,
the pink swelling means it is infected
