The end of my fingers just before my nail look really red an shiny why is this?

Nail bed: This redness indicates colonization with either fungus or bacteria. Nail fungus is common there. Special care is needed, including keeping it dry, keeping cuticle intact, and keeping cuticle gently pushed back.
