General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
It seems that there might be having nail bed infection due to constant traumatic injury on nail bed due to long walking.
Clean the part and dress it with antibiotic cream for 2-3 days.
If there is swelling, induration then go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days.
Ok and take care.
