Yep, get yourself to a doctor. Whatever it is does not sound too good. And the fact that it's stopped hurting doesn't necessarily mean that it's ok.
It may not be a soft tissue injury, you would probably remember hurting it if it was, but possibly an infection of some kind, I'm just guessing though. So go and see a doctor, like the person above said, it's impossible to diagnose things without doing a physical examination.
Nobody here who cannot examine the finger in question, even if the graduate of a medical college, can do a thing for you or your pinky. I suggest that you take it to an appropriate medical professional for an examination. You may have broken it. A simple strain or sprain or pulled tendon or ligament usually goes away in a few days. If the discoloration turns a dark blue almost black in colour its a good sign of a break. Only a doctor with a physical examination and or/an X-ray or the like can know for sure. Nobody here can diagnose your problem accurately in absentia.
