Cut: A cut w/discoloration means a POSSIBLE infection. Please go to your doc or the emergency room ASAP. You need to catch this before it gets worse. Peace and good health.

Potentially: It sounds that your finger wound is infected. Go see a doctor and have it checked out. You also need to check on your tetanus status.
