My pinky and ring finger on my left hand have been somewhat numb for about a week now. I wanted to know if it was left untreated for awhile would there be any lasting damage.

You need to see a doctor. It could be a pinch nerve in the elbow or neck. It could be systemic problem like diabetes, etc...
