Broken toenail?

Dear friends,

My mother is facing an issue in her right toe. There appears to be a crack near the front of the toenail. We are not really sure if that’s a crack or if the nail is growing a new layer on top of the previous one. She did not hit her toe into something neither did something fell on it. There appears to be no swelling around her toe but when some pressure is applied or the toe is pressed upon, it results in pain, right where the toenail ends. She also feels some pain on the top of her foot. Any idea/help as to what might be causing this issue? She had consulted a few physicians but everyone has a mixed opinion on the issue.

I’d appreciate any help/suggestions for this. I have also attached pictures for reference. Many thanks.
