I have a little bit of egg shell stuck under my finger nail . bled a little initially but it's not hurting or an anything. should i be concerned?

Remove egg shell: The skin does not like foreign bodies sticking in it. Use soap and water and you should be fine. If the area becomes hot red tender swollen go to doctor for treatment.
