Without seeing it it is very difficult to diagnose.
If the spot is a deep purple colour like that of a bruise, then it must be hurting quite a bit. It could be that blood is building under the nail bed. If the spot gets bigger, go and have it seen to. If the blood gathers too much, the nail can fall off. The treatment is generally that the doctor will drill a hole through the nail to allow the blood to escape. It may sound painful, but most think it is less painful than the tenderness in the finger.
I must stress that I cannot see the finger and may be wrong.
