My fingernail is bleeding and has no cuticle with a dry scaly rash.

I have not injured the finger- My ring finger on the right hand has had a "rash" that looks like extremely dry skin (almost like the skin is peeling) for about two months now. I also noticed that the cuticle is gone. It DOES NOT itch but does appear like the redness is spreading. Tonight, I looked down at my finger under the nail it was bleeding and I didn't even feel it. The rash isn't that bad since I started using a baby eczema oil on it that I purchased from the drugstore. I just really don't want my fingernail to fall off and would like to know what it could be and how I can fix it.

What about trying the all purpose remedy of tree tea oil on it?  Do you still have this?
