Toenail inception

I injured my toe several years ago, I was running around barefoot and accidentally dragged my big toe against some concrete and partially severed a good chunk of it. I had medical tape put on it and let it heal and reattach so to speak. The section of my toe that was damaged turns a different color when it is wet for a certain amount of time and the nail has never been the same. It’s like there is a tiny, thicker, slightly yellow chunk of toenail that grows in under my regular toenail and it creates great discomfort and I’m wanting to get some advice on what I should do, keep self trimming it or should I see a professional?

    If you cannot stop the pain go to a podiatrist. Mine costs £40 a visit.
