If it happens especially when it is exposed briefly to cold, it might be an indicator of a condition known as Reynaud's Syndrome. See your doctor. It is not terribly serious, but he or she should know about it.

Why does my finger tip go numb all a sudden randomly?

It's a vague question to answer. There are nerves located in your fingers. These nerves stimulate impulses to your brain warning the body of the stimuli it is reacting with (ie. a foreign texture, hot/cold material, general pain). If your finger is not sending impulses (becoming numb) you might have damaged the finger during some type of activity resulting in nerve loss. However, other facts can attribute to numbness in the finger. You would have to be more direct on when the finger goes numb and for how long.

Loss of feeling in left pinky finger no damage just a numb finger?

Generally a numb pinky, and one that may or may not include part of your ring finger and part of your palm beneath those fingers, can be traced o a pinched nerve in your elbow. When this nerve is irritated or compressed it causes your pinky and some of your ring finger to go numb, especially when your elbow is bent for a little while. Numbness of the other fingers and/or hand can be traced to a different nerve, or perhaps carpal tunnel, but generally when it mostly is just your little finger involved it is a particular nerve pinched at your elbow If this is the case, try to refrain from keep your elbows bent while sleeping, driving, talking on phone.... It should help relieve some of it . Hope this helps!
