I went to a chiropodist who told me that my toenail discoloration was because the nail had become detached. When she clipped it shorter, she noticed a similar thing, that I actually had one toenail growing on top of the other. I still don't see it myself, but that's what she said. Her advice was just to leave it and see what happens, given that any further action she would take had some chance of losing the nail entirely (maybe not a bad thing, in my opinion). I haven't yet sought an opinion from a podiatrist, but that will be my next step. I'm in Ontario Canada, so your definition of chiropodist versus podiatrist my differ.
