ok so i got a manicure on friday around like 7 and then around like 8 my finger started to hurt and i figured that the lady who did my nails just cut my finger when she was cutting my cuticles and that was all it was but my finger hurt all weekend and today at work i was looking at it and noticed it was kinda swollen and when i squeezed it puss came out.

sounds like a severe infection. probably under the nail. you really need to see the doc. it most likely will need to be drained. this has happened to my son many times. his is due to biting his nails very short and the germs from his mouth getting under the nail. it's possible,that the tools the manicurist used were not clen and when she cut you,well, you know. be careful where you have your nails done. lots of people aren't careful.

That sounds like a fungal infection but an infection of some type for sure...neosporin is a good start but if it continues, you should see a doctor quickly as it could turn into blood poisoning (that can be fatal, btw...)

sounds like infection-use an antbiotic ointment and cover it with a bandaid -
