Doctor Questions Blood Clots

Should I worry about a blood clot?

I have a previously small blood clot that was on my south paw index finger. It has grown and moved upwards. Should I be worried?

Not unless it is painful or growing in size. Cold compresses should help dissolve it and help shrink it. This is not a conventional blood clot that can break and go to lungs etc.
obviously if it grows in size or changes in features or persists beyond a week please consult a physician.
