Purple finger: Please seek medical attention in ER , purple finger usually reflects decreased blood flow from ischemia( vessel issues) or autoimmune condition like Raynauds, rarely signs of endocarditis, possible injury w/ hematoma under the nail( did you hit it? ) . Please go to day to ER or urgent care for evaluation
