Are they pooling blood under the nails? Are you in severe or increasing pain? If so you want to drain it sooner than later, especially if your interested in keeping the nails.
Use a needle or unfolded paper clip, heat it till it’s glowing red and push it through the nail. Your nails are made of the same stuff hair is, so while it’s glowing hot it goes through like butter.
My grandfather used a drill with the finest bit, but I think the hot paperclip works the best.
Your nail doesn’t have nerves, and the cuticle is separated by a pocket of blood, so you should be able to do it without hurting yourself more. The relief from the pressure release is unreal if you’re in the kind of pain I’ve been in from this.

Nah, it ain’t anywhere near that bad, just a little mild bruising. But thank you very kindly for the advice! ✌️
Not OP, but a fascinating read, thanks!
