Suggest Treatment For Numbness And Tingling On Fingers

I think I broke a blood vessel in my pointer finger by opening something two days ago. It has turned man y colors and looks kind of scary. I can move it and it seemed fine besides the colors, but today I have had numbness, tingling and cold in that finger. Should I be worried?

I would recommend you to get x ray of the finger to see if there is any fracture. I would also suggest you to apply ice. Color change is due to blood getting dissolved. Need to show to doctor.
