Hii..it's looks like a ingrown nail
Next Steps
as you explained that it's not causing any pain so what you can do is soak your feet in warm water for about 10 min ..3-4 times daily for 3 days ...that may help in reducing the swelling

Hello, is this recent or has it been there for a while? Looks like maybe a fluid collection. You can consult a surgeon who will examine it and advise you regarding further steps.
