Hello there.  I can understand your concern.  You can cut the nail regularly. You could have attached a picture of the nail for us to get a better idea of how severe it is. Kindly consult a general surgeon in person for further evaluation and management.  Best regards. Dr. Anil kumar jain. Bangalore.
