What Causes Greenish And Numbness Around The Area Around Wound?

I'm 30 years old, in perfectly good health. Last week I cut my thumb - stopped the bleeding after maybe 1/2 an hr, cleaned + bandaided it up, change dressing every couple of days and didn't think much about it. Now, 10 days later, the cut seems healed but the area around it appears greenish (no pus) and is numb. Should I see a doctor about this?
