How do I get my nail to grow over this?

How do I get my nail to grow over this?

I’ve had nail fungus in both big toes for several years. There have been long periods of little to no outward growth of the nail, as well as several other times where the nails have either been cut back by a podiatrist or me. As a result, the skin in front of the nail has grown up vertically, preventing the new nail from growing out past the end of the toes, which is especially sad now as the nails look better than they’ve looked in years. On a few occasions the nails have painfully grown into that skin akin to an ingrown toenail.

AI recommended urea, warm water soaks, and pumice to reduce the height of the skin. Does anyone have any other recommendations or thoughts on getting my nails over the hump (pun totally intended)?
