Possible overgrown cuticle / nail. Worrying me!

Since I was born, I have had cracked toenails. They have always had lines going vertically to the cuticle. About a year ago, one of my toenails completely split in half right down to the cuticle and as it grew, the split never healed and I had to keep trimming the nail. Then the cuticle area started to grow a bump as if it were an overgrown cuticle and i would pull it out or cut it off and it would bleed a lot. then eventually start growing back. I've left it grow for a few months to see what happens and it has started growing tiny pieces of nail on top. I'm thinking that due to the nail splitting, it's trying to grow an entire new nail over the top. I'm slightly concerned and don't know what it is. Any help? image
