It could b Paronychia or a Fungal infection or just Trauma which has damaged the area around the toe nail. All of these can be treated if medicated on time. Consult a Dermatologist for the same.
Health Tips
Avoid use of detergents and long standing contact with water. Dont wear tight fitting or closed shoes till it recovers
