Earlier today I had the middle finger on my right hand seemingly loose blood and turn white . There was a small area on the middle, back of that finger that turned dark blue. It was cold and had. no feeling. After massaging it for about 15 min. And making sure I kept it hanging it did return to normal. It feel slightly sore and the dark blue spot is gone but a bit discolored.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Dark blue discoloration of middle finger associated with loss of blood could be due to bruising or hematoma formation.
Trauma to soft tissue anywhere in body (middle finger in your case) can lead to internal bleeding and thus formation of hematoma.
Hematoma is dark blue in color and it changes in color from blue to green to yellow and then finally it disappears.
Feeling of cold devoid of any feeling is needs to be investigated.
Numbness and cold sensation is suggestive of nerve disorder.
In case you have suffered trauma to your finger, then injury to the nerve can be the cause of numbness and cold sensation.
I suggest you to consult an orthopedician for clinical assessment and thus management.
Thanks and take care
