Can cellulitis on my pinky finger make my whole arm up to my shoulder hurt?

Yes. It’s a type of infection that causes skin pain.

You may want to talk to a medical professional. Sometimes the infection is worse than you can “see”. Redness may not have surfaced yet past the pinky.

I believe yes, in severe cases it can. Although I could always be wrong as I am just stated what I’ve learned in school.
