I got cut 6 days ago with a glass cup that shattered & pierced into my small right finger it seems inflamed for the past 2 days it's a deep cut & it took time for the bleeding to stop the pain is in a 0.5cm radius around the wound & is now blue there?

Dr exam advised: If there is redness & pain around wound it could indicate a tiny piece of shattered glass is present in the wound, or possibly an infection. Best to have Dr exam either in person (call first) or video (not quite as good)
