Why Are My Fingertips Swollen And Painful?

Hello. I have been having this pain in the tips of my middle and index finger on my right hand for 2 weeks now. This morning the tip of my middle finger was swollen and was in major pain... then mid day it switched to my index finger... i looked and saw splinter hemorrages. The tips of my fingers still hurt really bad. What is this?

Normally the hurt on the finger could be from the joint or from the pulp, you are speaking of haemorrhage also, these are not good signs, they can be due o infection or inflammation secondary to other causes, you need to see a hand specialist for this, as proper examination can help diagnose this condition, please do not take this lightly.
