So my ring finger's fingernail overgrow or something, and it was hurting like hell.

I took a nail clipper and clipped it off, and there was lots of blood and pus. It's now red and swollen.

I'm having a hard time typing, so I might only do short translations or not do any at all until my finger is healed. Every time I use it to type, it hurts and it starts bleeding again

wtf...were you trying to set a record for nail length or something??

I've heard this is an issue for people who don't trim their nails for a long time...capillaries begin to grow in them...so it becomes troublesome if the nails are freely grown for too long. :X

I don't know about your case, though...lol.

White pus keeps appearing. Now it looks like blood and water mixed.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough, I meant the sides of the fingernail.

And I'm doing the Hwaseung vs KTF translations, it's such a pain (to type).

Hey.. dude! If you got something like this: (paronychia)

Go and see a doctor, because you need a surgery. Its not as bad as it sounds ,but if you leave it and you think it will heal all for itself, its wrong! I had it 2 times in my life, because I cutted my nails wrong.. (I had it at my toe though). The doctor will cut your nail and remove the part of the nail which is in the flesh and it can't happen anymore, never again.

-_-; I hope I'm not scaring you, because the surgery isn't bad.. it hurts much more to leave it like it is.

Apply neosporin and a gauze pad, keep it covered except when you bathe to prevent possible infection. From the sound of it your nail became ingrown, so you should look out for infection. In the meantime, do the first step.

I used soju to disinfect it

The fingernail grew into the sides and pushed into the skin, I cut it off, and it still hurts

ooohh...that sucks balls. You should bandage it up...and stop typing. You're only gonna make it worse by aggravating it, haha.

What you describe "Fingernail growing into the sides and pushing the skin" is exactly what I posted. Trust me, see a doctor. It will grow in the flesh again because you can't cut it properly I guess. (when it already grew into the flesh once that is..)

Could also look like this..

I think I used to get that on my toes, but that was with poorly cut nails and a lot of running so that the pressure actually allowed the nails to sink in I think. It is a major pain to deal with, though I didn't have to go to the doctor for it. Like some people mentioned, disinfectant is an obvious concern, which you seem to have taken care of. I had no idea that you could get it on your finger nails though.

Also, what I ended up doing that helped was letting the nail grow past my toes, that way the corners of the nail is actually beyond the flesh, so it can't become ingrown. Maybe if you don't cut your nails in too much it'd have similar effects? Good luck with that though, hope it stops hurting soon.
