A member asked:
My finger turned red from using a elastic to make a bracelet its been red for a few minutes maybe like 1 or 3 minutes and it hurts but its not turning black?

You could watch and wait. If there is sensation in the affected part of the finger, that is, your sense of touch is not affected, it is not likely to be serious. If you lose sensation or finger turns purplish, it would be prudent to go to an ER. Wish you good health!
