Right ring finger tip numb lasting 3 days so far no relief caused through using a wall paper scraper doing diy should i see a doctor no feeling in fin?

Not now: You probably just injured one of the nerves to the finger by the pressure of the scraper. This is much like your foot feeling numb with your legs crossed. Usually this will return fairly quickly. If still numb by 2 weeks you should see your doctor.
