Get a diagnosis: The first step in treating any problem is to get a diagnosis. The most common reason for this finger getting numb is a pinched nerve ( usually at the elbow). If the problem persists you should get it checked by your doctor to find out for sure. Treatment will depend on the cause.

Finger numbness: There are at least 2 broad categories of why your fingers wound be numb: blood flow or nerve related. It depends on which one it is for definite treatment. Vascular could be caused by poor circulation. If nerve related it would be the ulnar nerve impingement typically at the medial side elbow or at the wrist "Guyon's canal". There are other reasons too depending on the clinical setting.
