What Causes A Black Spot On Left Middle Finger After Injury?

I broke my left middle finger and right under the skin on the top of my left finger is a black spot and on that same finger on the inside of middle finger knuckle are two more newly forming black spots just like the first spot. do you have any idea what this may be? let it be known that these things are causing me no pain no itching. But definitely a sure sign that something bad is going on with that finger and needs to be addressed ASAP

Welcome to HCM. Those spots are as a result of dried blood under the skin, when you broke the finger, the blood vessels delivering blood to your joints got torn and it has eventually started to clot off and that is what you see as the black spots. It should clear off on its own but I have seen them just stay that way on many patients. Good luck.
