What Causes Swelling And Numbness In The Fingertips?

I cut my finger last night, about 24 hrs ago. It bled for about 30 min . I ran it under water, dried off, applied antibiotic crime and bandage. Now it looks better, but it s not closed. I m wondering if it s too late to get stitches or liquid stitches. No sign of infection, but swelling and numb at fingertip
