What Is The Pimple Like Bumps On The Side Of The Nails?

A couple of days ago i kind of split the skin from my nail on the side, which is easy done, but then a day or so later it swell up and was itchy but right now there are many pimple like bumps there so close together that it just looks like one big lump?
