Let it be exposed to air or clean it with some hydrogen peroxide. Keeping it closed airtight has caused it. If it persists or discharge & discoloration develop, get a consultation.
Good luck!
geez! can't you find a serious problem?
Your finger is probably growing bacteria that shouldn't be there. You have an infection. Tell your boss what happened, fill out an incident report, and see a doctor ASAP. Workers' comp will probably pay for it.
You shouldn't be working with food, you should go to the doctor, you need antibiotics.
Better see a doctor asap. If you give gangrene a finger, it'll take your arm ;-)
