I had an infected finger once (donât pick your cuticles, kids), and took a while to go to the dr so it was getting worse. She said that you need to stay on top of them as infection can travel fast in fingers, with not great consequences.
I also know someone who had a partial finger amputation recently, so itâs definitely something to take care of (their situation was nothing like yours, so please donât worry though)

A friendâs brother pricked his finger with a needle threading popcorn onto a string and got a very alarming infection that made his thumb swell up alarmingly. I also know someone else who got a splinter or something near a finger joint and was surprised to have it surgically treated as a full emergency. Itâs definitely not something to take lightly.
