What does it mean when your fingers (just the part from the knuckle to the finger ) turns purple not the nail?

Question

yea i smashed my finger in a door and blood just started squirting out and then my finger turned purple

Answer 1

Thats the blood inside the skin, but also is ur damaged muscles, skin can turn yellow, green, red , blue, and purple it depend on the level of pressure.

But if ur sure nothing is broken , don't worry just apply some pain relievers, and you will see hat disappear in a week or more.  

Answer 2

Well, think of it this way. You just applied a lot of force on your finger, so if it's discolored now it could simply be a gigantic bruise.

However, it could be broken. Do you have any trouble bending your finger? Is it swelling more than you think it should?

You should get it checked out by a doctor. If it is broken then the doctor can set it properly so it will heal well. If a broken finger isn't seen to by a doctor, then you could have serious problems with how your finger works and looks for the rest of your life.

Answer 3

internal pooling of blood...might have a break...get it checked out!
