I accidentally hit my hand with a hammer it bruised pretty much instantly how can i know if its bad/infection it doesn't hurt after and it's slightly raised?

The extent of the local hand injury is unclear based on your post, but the bruising may signify a small fracture. An Xray of the hand should answer this concern. See your doctor and commence evaluation.

I while ago I had an infection under my toenail. I treated it with a over the counter nail treatment you brush on. Just as the left side of the nail grew out the right side got all bruised and swollen (not sure why) so I started treating that side. Its not growing quite right, Last night it swelled again.
