Foreign body?: Are you sure there is no small splinter or tiny piece of glass in the finger? You are correct, there may be a number of possibilities, including sensation related to nerve endings. I would recommend you see a health care worker, your doctor if you can, to get a good evaluation!

Find the cause: Parasthesias (the sensation of "pins and needles") is a common complaint seen in neurological practice. Paying attention to the timing spread and distribution of the symptoms aids in the diagnostic work up. For example if the sensation occurs after repetitive motions of the wrist and the thumb and first two fingers are involved but the 4th and 5th finger are spared, one might suspect carpal tunnel
