Default Owww my torch coral stung me!!!

I had a VERY tiny spot on my finger where the outer layer of skin was ripped off, not a deep cut or anything no blood. I don't know how but the tip of my torch manage to touch that spot perfectly and I felt a shock. I pulled my hand out of the water right away and continue feeling a stinging sensation. This was a few days ago now my finger is swollen and bruised when I touch that spot it feels bruised. I never got stung by corals before, is my finger going to be ok? I'm a little worried now... Thanks

Should be fine, but keep an eye on it. If it gets worse then go to the doctor. Bacteria can get into wounds and cause infection - it could be that's the problem and not the Torch sting at all.
