Can excess skin on the tip of my right thumb be removed? (Photo)

awsomewave
I accidentally slammed my right thumb in a door. The nail fell out and when it grew back my thumb was longer and fatter at the tip because of excess skin. This makes my thumb look bigger than it actually should be. Can this excess skin be removed to make my thumb look the way it looked before the accident - (smaller and the same shape and size of my other thumb)? This is important to me. I always had such beautiful hands and I want my old thumb back.
