A member asked:

My locker door slammed on my finger, and now its red, hurts and might be swollen. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Finger trauma: Start with a cold compress. Crushed ice in a plastic bag, wrapped in a towel (never put ice directly on skin). Apply 10 minutes, off 10 minutes, repeat. See a medical professional to have finger checked. Could be broken, might just be bruised. Can't tell without checking.
