I've asmall localized swelling at myproximal nail fold 5days ago.painless not tender not red or hot.i tried to soak my finger in hot waterbut no gain?

swelling at nailfold: By your description, it may be a digital mucous cyst. They are commonly in the area you describe, painless. You don't need to treat unless it is bothersome. Treatment would be biopsy and cauterizing the base, but they are notorious for recurring.
