Generally most of the nail problems are difficult to treat unfortunately. Your nail seems to have a Pterygium which is specific to a skin condition called Lichen Planus.
We suggest different creams & intralesional injection sometimes to get some relief or improvement.
Trauma can aggravate this problem and I will not opt removal of nail.
However, please follow your skin specialist advice as he is the best judge for you.
May ALLAH bless you with fast recovery soon INSHAALLAH.
Wassalam and a good day to you

I doubt if its a pterygium. Your complaints also dont support it.I would like to get it examined and investigated

Precisely the degree of pain u r complaining warrants investigation including mri and biopsy. U can visit me at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital Lahore if fees is an issue or if privately I can help u in the reduction of fees. But please get urself checked.
