Swelling and blackish spot on nail
2-3 weeks back I spotted a swelling on the area around the nail of the little finger of my left hand. There was no prominent pain. Few days later I noticed the nail has turned a little blackish on one side and the swelling has increased. Any external pressure on the nail causes a mild to sharp pain. The blackness is spreading on the nail and the area around it while the swelling is prominent. The nail has started to uproot from that side a little bit. I was wondering if it is Paronychia and if not then what it could be probably. Also what is the treatment to this?
