A member asked:
The tip of my right index finger has been numb for a few days. could it be because i bite my nails and skin around my nails?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Finger numbness: Unlikely to be from biting. Could be carpal tunnel or other nerve compression like holding groceries with your finger too long, or cervical spine disc disease, rarely may be vascular or MS. Would seek medical attention this week
