What Causes Painful Numbness And Redness On The Little Finger Of The Right Hand?

Hi. I am experiencing numbness, sensitivity to cold & heat, intermittent pain, & redness (not uniformly) in the last section of the small finger on my right hand. Also in the tips of the next two fingers but less severe. I had been using a machete at work prior to the symptoms. This is intermittently part of my usual work and the symptoms have never occurred before. Nerve damage??

Hi,

The possibilities are nerve injury or minor contusion.

Consult an orthopedician and get evaluated. An MRI scan is required for further evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
