Should I Be Concerned Of Having Discoloration On Index Finger?
Hello my dad was putting on a belt on a vacuum cleaner and it was very difficult. Afterwards, his hand was hurting and it got swollen later on and then a certain area on the wrist was red and now the index finger is discolored like bruised. Also on a couple of the other fingers there are a few spots but the main one that is discolored is the index finger. He is worried about internal bleeding. Should he be concerned?

Hello there!
Trauma to the fingers using vacuum belt might be the reason. some topical NSAIDs and balms wold suffice. if the mobility is compromised or if pain or discoloration persisted seek nearby ER to sort out trouble which i am sure is nothing to worry about.
Rest and let it heal
