When your doctor says you are just weird, at what point should you be concerned?

In making my apple pie I sliced my finger open. A good sliver of skin dangled for a while until I wrapped it tight in a band aid. No I did not go to the ER either, just in case you were wondering. I wasn't light headed and sweating from my cut. (incidentally it was the same finger same hand as Geoff's) Anyway that is not the problem. The cut is healing nicely, however the skin on the opposite side of that finger has now turned translucent and extremely tender. Ever heard of such a thing? Me either, I go to the Dr. tomorrow, I will let you know.
