Does it hurt. does it limit any movement because of pain
Has it happen because of an injury.

If you answered yes to any of these go see a doctor

Other wise just let the body do its job
It does a real good job at that.
Fixing easy thing, that is.

neurologist

sounds stubed or if u can't move it broke could go to reg family doc or er

its only one finger ,which means its infected or it has a foreign body in it ,or result of trauma ,if its throbbing and swollen could be fractured ,go to the nearest emergency room ,they will check it out and do x-ray ,u might need antibiotics ,pain killers ,removal of the foreign body inside under local anaesthesia or a splint to support the fracture ,
