It sounds like you had a bruise under your nail, and now the nail is growing out with new skin where the bruise was. The red area is probably from the blood that was under the nail, and the flesh growing could be new skin healing the injury.
As long as it’s not hurting more or getting infected, it’s likely just part of the healing process. But if it doesn’t get better or if you feel pain or see signs of infection, it’s a good idea to see a doctor.

Hello there! There is always a chance of trauma or foreign body reaction with similar lesions. Please see a physician for closer evaluation so the growth can be removed.
