A member asked:

I smashed my finger an its turning yellow?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yellow Finger: Smashing your finger resulted in some leakage of blood into the soft tissue. That blood, as it decomposes, will usually turn yellow. This is just a bruise. Not to worry. If the finger is still painful it is possible that you could have broken a bone so see a physician.
