Recommend Treatment For Bruised Fingers
I recently fell off my bike and my pinky finger got injured. Almost immediately there was swelling and bruising, mainly in the bottom section (opposite the tip). I was still able to bend it. It tingled for a couple of days but that is subsiding. This morning I noticed a bright red circle at the tip of that finger. Perfect circle, bright red like magic marker. Could this be the result of a circulation problem through the finger?

Hi,
Thank you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised.
As the injury is pretty old it cannot be much serious until you have pain and aches. Also, for this kind of red marker, you can take the hot water fermentation and later perform some small finger exercises. This should work well, without any effort.
