Numbness in ring finger after deep cut

2020-03-27 11:21:27
I accidentally cut my ring finger deeply with glass two days ago. I went to the hospital and the nurse stitched it and applied bandage. But now I'm feeling numbness from wound to the tip of the finger. Is it something I should be worried about and talk to my doctor or will it go away with time?
