crushed a vein in finger?
I think I crushed a vein in my finger. I was being stupid and went to punch something and my ear bud got in the way and made full force contact with my ear bud and looks like it crushed a vein in my finger. A bump appeared and has since gone down a bit. Should I go to the doctors or will this heal on it's own?

The veins in your fingers are too small to cause significant damage when ruptured. When a vessel ruptures, the blood leaks out, leaving a bruise. Your case sounds like a bruise closer to the surface of the skin, which is why it swelled up. There's no need to go to the doctor, it'll heal on its own.

You don't have veins in your fingers. They are capillaries-- tiny little blood vessels that break or tear fairly easily, which is what makes you bruise. Yours is just closer to the skin's surface, so instead of a deep bruise, the blood leaked out just under the skin. It's called a hematoma and it will go away in time.
