What Causes Pain In The Finger Tip?
hello, all of a sudden noticed pain in the fingertip of my pointer finger on my right hand. It is also red and swollen. I did not have any hangnails or injuries recently. It just came about. I feel pressure as well. I ve never experienced this before. It s odd and has been going on for about 4 hours.

Hi and welcome to HCM
According to your description , pain over your fingertip seems to be inflammatory in nature.
I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination and rule out any infective cause.
Hope this will helps you. Take care
