puncture a (smashed) nail
It does make sense as my son had it done years ago. When a nail gets squished, blood can accumulate/get trapped underneath and it can get very painful. To relieve the pain/let the blood seep out, the doctor can drill or burn a small hole in the nail. You can translate it directly - there are many examples online.

Pernille Kienle described it well. It is a blood blister under the nail.
