Immediate exam: You may have a serious infection which needs to be treated. It is also possible the tear in your skin is so extensive stitches may be needed to help it heal. Other intervention may be needed by a surgeon if this worsens. An infection could spread to your bones. I strongly encourage you to go to a medical clinic to have your finger examined as soon as possible.
