Suggest Medication For Extra Growth In The Toenail Edge

years ago my family doctor gave me a cream to put on the excess bubble of skin that was in the corner of my big toe after I pulled a piece of nail with skin off. In effect the cream dried that excess skin. Is there anything over the counter that would do the same thing?
