What do I do if my guinea pig has a swelled toenail? Is this rare?

enter image description hereHeidi's toenail (Zoom in if you need to)I woke up to trim my guinea pigs', Heidi(female), toenails, and noticed that her skin was getting really big and swelled up around it. I tried trimming it, and it really hurt her. I don't know if I should trim it, or go see a vet. If this is a bad thing, I will most definititly see a vet without risk of hurting my piggie, but I need to know if I could just buy medicine, or trim it and give Heidi some sort of attention or care.

P.S. For all of you guiinea pig lovers out their(I am one myselfC:)Don't worry if you think Heidi is lonely! She has a sister, Hazel, and they live together in a spacioius and happy cage. No need to worry!
