Anyone know what kind of doctor I need to see? I've lost sensation in my left thumb-tip and three finger tips?
What specialty would be best to see. I have an old injury to my arm just above the wrist. I lost feeling in much of my hand but it eventually returned. Recently, the tips of my thumb and three fingers have been loosing sensation. This was the last area to heal after the accident. (crushed in a machine)

You need to see a neurologist. I can't believe you've gotten such unusual answers from the other three folks.

Go see an ortho specialist for any bone issues, otherwise consult a neurologist for loosing the sensation.
