Hi, I think you had seen the anterior most part is inferior turbinate of the nostril. Which is a normal structure. when you injured with your nails if there was no bleeding nothing to worry. if you have frequent URI or sneezing definitely you may require ENT Dr opinion. my sincere ad ice are cut your nails and do not injure the Nasal mucosa. Take care.
