It still pain slightly, but the skin over it just above my nail burns a lot really a lot. the skin also looks as if I have burnt my skin(slightly reddish-black), but this burning sensation is bad.

Hi, this burning sensation after injury could be due to CRPS or the digital nerve damage sign in the original trauma.
Good hand therapy is a solution
you will also need an X Ray to see the condition of your phalynx.
