 This looks very dangerous, sorry to say. My wife had a tiny cut in the palm of her hand when peeling an apple, and it got swollen like yours, she was directed to emergency dept of the hospital , the immediatly operated (cut open 2 inches in zig zag pattern), she ended up staying in hospital bed for 3 days!  Watch out. I think it was called cangrene. 
 Oh noo... I'm sorry to hear that, I hope everything ended well. 🫂
I'm keeping an eye on my hand, so far it's not getting worse, but I'll go to the hospital again if anything happens. 
 Yes, it ended well, luckily.  But doctors said if she had waited a few hours more.....
