Broken thick toe nail

Question

Asked for Male, 0 Years

I had broken my toe nail while playing sports roughly 9-10 years ago. The nail had completely detached after a few days of the injury. The toe nail has since then slowly gotten thicker and very hard to cut. There is no pain but thickness keeps increasing over the years. How would a doctor help in this situation? Is there no need for doctor visit?
