Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I think there is Infection in your finger. You need to properly clean the wound with hydrogen peroxide water and Betadine. If it doesn't get better maybe antibiotics are needed as an ointment or maybe even orally. Keep yourself in observation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
