What Causes Swelling And Purple Discoloration On Finger?

My middle finger on the right hand has swollen up & turned purple twice in the last couple of weeks. It lasts a couple of days. It starts with a twinge in the upper part of the finger and then spreads to the rest of the finger. Is this something to follow up with my physician or can it be ignored?
