I have a smashed both of my middle fingers , the tips are swollen & purple . Friends are telling me to drain the blood using a red hot paper clip...I want to just let it heal on its own . Will this cause a problem with blood clots ? Do I need to get the nails drained ? If I let it heal how long will it be swollen? Thank You .
