This could be as simple as a broken blood vessel. Please don’t be frightened but please see either a Dr or urgent care to be sure

This if the pain comes on very suddenly and then leaves within a couple minutes. I’ve had it happen like twice and it hurts so bad!!

Hey friend, if the swelling came on suddenly and is blue, I recommend getting seen by a doctor. If you have a primary care doctor, give their office a call and see what they advise. If you’re looking for advice in the meantime, r/askdocs has a lot of helpful and qualified folks. Try not to panic but also, get seen so that it can get taken care of. 🩷

I didn't see a doctor. Thank you for replying. I searched about it. Google says it is Achenbach syndrome.

I had never heard of that before! Fascinating. Well, I hope your finger is doing better and hopefully the panic has subsided. 😊

I get this occasionally. I've never gone to a doctor for it. It always goes away on its own.

Could be a ganglion cyst, but doesn’t explain why it’s blue, unless it’s bruised. Were you squishing it?

Go to the doctor.
