See a doctor: Immediately. And preferrably somebody who specializes in hand surgery. Infections in fingers can get out of control very quickly with potentially devastating results. Go now.

Paranychia: Sounds like a parody chia.. Soak it in warm water with salt and express the pus. Then see your doctor.

Paronychia?: It's called a paronychia. Localized infection. Needs antibiotics and warm soaks. Biting or pulling hang nails might be the cause.

See a dr: Best to see a doctor to have it drained? Or at the very least get onto antibiotics. Don't mess around with a hand infection :)
