| Pterygium |
Pterygium is the inward advance of skin over the
nail plate, usually the result of trauma to the matrix due to a surgical
procedure or by a deep cut to the nail plate. Pterygium results in
the loss of the nail plate due to the development of scar tissue.
Cortisone is used to prevent the advancement of scar tissue. Never
attempt to remove pterygium -instead, consult a physician for advice and
treatment.
