My middle finger swelled up and my skin turned yellow right beside my nail what is it? what can i do about it?

Paronychia: It sounds like paronychia, an infection in the cuticular skin. See a doctor as you may need oral and /or topical treatment. In some cases the area may need to be drained if it is full of puss. See your dermatologist asap.
