What Causes Numbness On The Finger?

The tip of my right ring finger from the end digit up has been losing color (blood?) and going numb every hour or so. It is only this one finger. I do not wear a ring on it. If I run it under warm water and rub repeatedly it will return to normal for an hour or so. I don t think I ve been bitten by an insect. Very puzzling.
