discolored fingers

I am a 27yo african american female.  For the past week or so, my fingertips have been discolored (somewhat pale) and kind of numb, only on the pads of my fingertips.  Also I got a paper cut on one of those fingers that have not started to heal.  What I also observed is that when I put my hand in warm water, the discoloration gets worse.  My other hand is fine.  Any ideas what it may be?

Do you have swelling too? or just discoloration?
My aunt had something with her hands swelled up and turned a different color, inflamed like. They told her she had "gout"
