Unknown: If there is pain it usually indicates either an injury or possibly a disease process as an infection or growth. Best to have it checked out.

Probable glomus tumo: This sounds as if it were a glomus rumor of the nailbed. Look it up here: http://emedicine.Medscape.Com/article/1255586-overview.
