Went through this with my 75 year old father almost 2 months ago. Had a minor cut on this thumb from doing yard work. Swells up a few days later and goes to the doctor. They write it off as nothing and give him some antibiotics. Antibiotics do nothing and his thumb swells up like a balloon. I threw him in the car and off to the emergency. They cut out a bunch nasty junk and sew him back up. I threw away all of his gloves that were filled with holes and told him to wear new ones at all times.
Damn Vietnam veterans think they're still 20 and invisible to everything....
