Answer 2

It sounds like you either have a bacterial or fungal infection around your nail. You can try soaking it in warm water 20 min at a time, 3 times a day, but will probably end up needing to go to the doctor for antibiotics.

Answer 3

Yes it's infected. You've probably picked up a splinter or shard. Prick it with a needle and squeeze out all the bad stuff. Then bathe it in antiseptic.

Answer 5

Nail infection. Paronychia is infection of the periungual tissues. Onychomycosis is fungal infection of the nail plate, nail bed, or both.

Candidal nail infection manifests as a full-thickness nail plate infection; candidal paronychia manifests as painful red periungual swelling that may develop pus. Subungual infections are characterized by distal separation of one or several fingernails (onycholysis), with white or yellow discoloration of the subungual area.

Treatment of onychomycosis is challenging because the infection is embedded within the nail and is difficult to reach. As a result full removal of symptoms is very slow and may take a year or more.
