Red Swollen Finger: Causes, Symptoms, and When to See a Doctor #3537295 (License: Personal Use)

The image shows a human index finger with visible erythema (redness) and subtle swelling along the dorsal aspect, particularly around the proximal phalanx and middle joint. Skin texture appears intact without breaks, blisters, or pus, suggesting early-stage inflammation rather than advanced infection or trauma. The surrounding fingers are normal in appearance, highlighting the localized nature of the condition.

This image is typically used in medical blogs, dermatology or orthopedic resource pages, and telehealth triage guides to illustrate early signs of finger inflammation-such as paronychia, cellulitis, gout flare, or repetitive strain injury. It matches user intent for self-assessment, symptom recognition, or deciding whether to seek clinical evaluation.
