Should I Be Concerned As I Am Having Pain And Swelling In My Finger Tip?

I have had pain in the tip of my little finger. Initially it was red and swollen and very tender to the touch. The redness has gone and there is slight swelling and it is still somewhat tender to the touch. It came on suddenly a little over a week ago. Do you think it should be looked at?
