Brief Answer:
Can be due to fungal infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have seen the attached image. The distortion of the nail in your case can be due to a damaged nail bed or due to a fungal infection of the nailbed. This causes such disfigurement of the nail. For proper diagnosis you need to consult a dermatologist and get proper anti fungal medicines prescribed that can help in the improvement of your nail.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.

Brief Answer:
Medicines can help a fungal infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
If the nail bed is damaged then it is difficult to repair. Surgery can help to some extent only. If there is a fungal infection then you need to have anti fungal drugs orally for 12-20 weeks after consulting a dermatologist.
Hope my answer is helpful.
