Doctors for Pterygium Unguis Treatment in Bengaluru

Pterygium unguis is a small overgrowth of skin that starts at the edge of the nail and slowly creeps onto the nail plate. It can make the nail look uneven, bent, or partly covered. It may happen after an injury, irritation, or certain skin problems. In some people it causes no pain, but it can still affect how the nail grows and looks.

Common symptoms, including forward growth of cuticle, nail plate scarring and nail ridging, may be associated with pterygium unguis. Timely medical evaluation can help identify the condition and guide appropriate treatment, particularly when symptoms persist or worsen.
