Answer:
Yes and if you did not cut an artery you are fine.
Unwrap it. The end of your finger is feeling nubm because it is wrapped too tight. Just apply pressure using your othe hand and a piece of gauze. Telfa the inside of a band aid is the best to put next to it as it doesn't stick.

if your finger is "pumping blood", you shouldn't log on to y!answers, you should go to the hospital... geez!

---

Yes everything will be OK

---

Apply pressure to it.

---

yes you must wrap in around keep pressure on ur finger at all times and the blood will stop pumping out if you do this all will be well just stayyyyy calm

---

Just apply pressure on the area and it should stop doing it long enough to clot. You'll be fine.

---

If it doesn't stop in 20-30 mintues, go to the emergency room. It could be serious.

---

if you can get it under control and your finger feels normal, then put a bandaid and neresporen on it. if not, go to the emergency room asap!

---

unless u have some bleeding/clotting disorder, u'll stop bleeding spontaneously, u r not gonna bleed to death from ur finger, the blood will stop by itself, u can hasten it by using ice or by external pressure.

---

The blood stopped is a good sign, you can put a cube of ice in a plastic bag and keep it over it, should help too, but you need to disinfect it so you wont get any infections.

---

tina if your finger starting feeling really cold, that means your losing alot of blood and you should get the ER. Apply pressure to your finger with towels to stop the bleeding. If that does not work, try elevating your arm, well pressing the towel on the finger. If that fails, get your self to the hospital. Also everyone else who gave you advice does not know what they are talking about.

---

Just wrap it up and be calm and go to the doctor if it doesn't stop bleeding. You'll be alright.

---

IMPORTANT:
ELEVATE THE ARM ABOVE YOUR HEAD AND KEEP PRESSURE ON IT FOR 20-30 min. IF THE BLEEDING IS STILL PRESENT GO TO THE ER.
YOU WILL BE ALRIGHT.

EMERGENCY ROOM! EMERGENCY ROOM!

---

Your finger is pumping blood and rather than going to the emergency room or asking family or friends, you thought enough to long online and ask yahoo? It can't be THAT bad.

---

Was the blood bright red or a dark red? I know that is hard to tell, but it matters. Most skin cuts will be the darker variety, so will a vein. And they ooze out. If it pumps out, you hit an artery. Not good. Should be sutured otherwise the blood to the finger tip will be lost. Go into ememrgency or see a doctor right away.

---

go to the emerg room NOW

---

Then why are you typing?!?! No go to a hospital if u haven't already!! lol and its not "pumping blood" its spewing

---

I had the same thing happen, go to the ER and have a Dr. check it out!!
