Usually: this would be due to trauma or arthritis. Either there is swelling with fluid compressing the joint or bony changes that compromise function of this small DIP (distal interphalangeal joint). It would be unusual for you to have an isolated nerve or vascular dysfunction that only involved the tip of a finger. Apply heat, massage it..if it doesn't improve, an in-person eval with a Doctor is in needed

If you've had a recent or you need to get some x-rays you need to see someone to assess your tendon.
