Suggest Treatment For Black Nail And Numbness After Injury

I smashed my Finger about a week ago.

Here are my symptoms:

My entire nail is black

There's a bit of swelling right at the base of the nail

This finger is slightly numb above the third nuckle

The skin on one side of the nail is black - as though there's dried blood underneath the skin

The skin on the underside of my finger is dry and cracking

The pain has subsided greatly but I'm wondering if I should see a doctor.



What say you? Thank you, Jamie
