Should I Go To The Doctor For Tight Sensation And Numbness On The Hand?

Hi, Yesterday my ring finger on my right hand started feeling tightness and numbness. I looked at it and the tip was turning blue/purple. Today the color is moving around the finger to the sides and below the nail. The tip itself feels harder than the other fingers. Should I have it checked?

Hi,

Do you have a history of trauma or insect bite. These symptoms can happen after minor trauma and after insect bite.

If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
