So the middle finger on each hand started hurting near the nail and got puffy and there seemed to be pus under the skin right at the nail.
That cleared up and now they look like the pics below. Wondering if they'll eventually fall off and new ones grow. I'm not sure what could have happened and it's weird it was the middle finger on both hands.

I'd go to the doctor, in both hands seems like something is off. If just one then would say it was just some kind of infection but both is definitely something off elsewhere...

The fact that its both hands, and middle finger for both probably means it wasnt any kind of physical trauma that caused the nail to break.

Also if it isn't obvious from the pictures, I am a nail biter. Sometimes I'll pick at the skin around the nail too, so thinking an infection could have gotten in that way.

Thanks for replies. Another possibly unrelated note is that my finger tips get very dry and the skin cracks. This specifically on my middle fingers and ring fingers and moreso on my right hand (first pic). This has flared up more in the past few weeks leading up to this as well

You're definitely going to lose the nails. Whether they regrow is another story.

I don't think so, myself.

And it was probably caused by an infection. (Maybe fungal?)

You're going to need to see a doctor. Your primary care provider is a good start.

Looking this up and I think this is plausible. There was a weird funk coming from those fingers. Also something fitting that description is currently happening to my pinkie finger.
What leads you to believe it won't grow back?

Because you'd see the beginning of a new nail appear at base of your nailbed already. (Nails don't stop growing. Heck, they'll even grow for a few days after you die.)

Also, once the the nailbed starts to look like regular skin, there is nothing for a new nail to latch onto.

I lost my right big-toe nail over 30 years ago.

So it's just bare skin on your toe now?

Yeah. It's thicker than regular skin, and it vaguely looks like a nail, as it follows the nailbed, but it's skin, not nail.
