Herpetic whitlow is PAINFUL. It is not a "bump on your finger". You'd be in pain, have blisters, etc.

If you did have it, you'd have antibodies to prevent you from getting it in another location, but I suspect you do not have it, if the bump on your finger is what you are going by.

Okay thank you but my possible infection was Monday would it still not spread and if I do have it can licking your fingers when eating  or using your hands be dangerous in any way without the presence of sores and dose viral shedding occur ever during the first day of infection
Sorry one more thing the bump that I was talking about in my finger is not on the finger that had a lil tear on it would whitlow br in infected finger or is it random
