Likely infection: You could have infection there. Don't pick your skin/nail. Little trauma can happen and before you know it, you could have bacterial infection with a bit pus inside. Go to see your doctor for further treatment.

Paronychia: Yes. This is a common problem. You have an infection and need to be on antibiotics. Please get in to see your physician today.
