Patience: Don't do anything. Don't focus on it. Some things just take a while to get better. Stop looking at it and leave it be. It will improve. A watched pot never boils.

Unlikely Permanent: Coban was not designed to be used for more than a few minutes as a pressure dressing. Using it for several day (even an hour or several hours) could permanently damage the circulation and cause the loss of a finger. Since your finger has not been removed, the things you are notcing are unlikely to be permanent. Moisture or cream under the coban could cause the symptoms noted, bur will be normal.
